5.3 EVAP conversion
5.3 EVAP conversion so i got studying my caprice. i'd like to retain the EVAP as all is well with the system. connectors are the same, wiring is the same from the TBI motor to the 5.3.
but the 5.3 - the solenoid is up on the motor. the car has it right on the charcoal canister.
so for those who have deleted the EVAP from the truck manifold - how did you do it? ideally i would like to find a vacuum fitting that could do in its place to run over to the canister mount evap solenoid.
and as an afterthought - what to use to plug the EGR hole in the intake?

Electrically you would need to extent the wires from the connector for the solenoid on the manifold to the charcoal canister.
In order to remote mount my solenoid I made an adapter for the intake. I used a 90 degree plastic 3/8" barbed fitting and a O ring to seal it. There are pics of it on here and my fquick account. If I get a chance later I`ll post a link.
I can`t really help on the EGR, I`m still running mine.
