June 16, 20195 yr comment_577780 Looks great. Wish my engine bay looked half as good. Edited June 16, 20195 yr by rcb280z Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60126-just-what-the-doctor-ordered-1977-280z/?&page=21#findComment-577780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 16, 20195 yr Author comment_577814 Thanks! Starting to route hoses and checked my pre-tear down pics, is this carbon canister hooked up properly? Seems to me the hose coming from the tank should go to the nipple marked "from tank" and the purge hose should go to the intake manifold. Also, the 2nd pic is of the P/S kick panel, it is in good enough to use as a template to make a new one but is there in fact a D/S kick panel? My photos don't show one and I just can't remember any more.

Have a look at this. http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/carboncan/index.html btw one of the hoses has a reducing orifice in it Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60126-just-what-the-doctor-ordered-1977-280z/?&page=21#findComment-577820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 17, 20195 yr Author comment_577829 Perfect, thanks Philip. I'm glad I didn't throw away that short hose with the reducer. So here is the after pic.

July 4, 20195 yr Author comment_579028 The engine is running now and the box of parts to reinstall is getting close to empty but I have a couple parts I can't find a home for. The heat shield, somewhere in the engine bay but can't figure where and the black flangy thing I think goes in the driver's or passenger's foot well. Any ideas? Also finished up installing all the glass today.

July 5, 20195 yr comment_579035 The silver heat shield mounts to the bottom of the intake heat shield it protects the hose going from the PCV valve to the side of engine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60126-just-what-the-doctor-ordered-1977-280z/?&page=21#findComment-579035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 5, 20195 yr comment_579036 This is the best shot I could get while the engine is in the car. It's looking from the master cylinder to the exhaust and intake. If I recall correctly two different size bolts, a 10 and a 12, go through that shield and the bigger heat shield. It will attach after the bigger heat shield is on. One of those "blind" installations where you can't see what you're doing.

July 5, 20195 yr Author comment_579038 YES, thank you, it protects the silver painted rubber hose, one down one to go. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60126-just-what-the-doctor-ordered-1977-280z/?&page=21#findComment-579038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
