TPI Vapor Canister Hose Routing

I have a 1992 Camaro I have upgraded from a 305 TBI to a 350 TPI. I have a diagram of how to connect the vacuum lines but a question on the routing. How does the vacuum line from the throttle body (the larger one on the passenger side) to the canister route. Any diagrams or pictures would be appreciated.

Mine goes from the TB, UNDER the TB, under the water neck, between the valve cover and alternator, and then a straight shot to the canister. ...that's all I can tell ya without going out and looking at it.

Re: TPI Vapor Canister Hose Routing

Thanks for the info. Would you be kind enough to look at the car. The question is does the hard line make a 180 degree turn or does it make a 90 degree turn and then connect with a 90 degree elbow or does it connect in some other way. Thanks.

Re: TPI Vapor Canister Hose Routing

Mine, as far as I remember was all one piece. I cut it about 12" from the canister for some modifications, but under the TB and across to the driver side is stock. ....lemme get a pic

Re: TPI Vapor Canister Hose Routing

Keep in mind I no longer have the stock serp belt set up, so some of the molded bends aren't really necessary. It IS still stock though.

Evaporative Emissions Canister Hose Routing

I have a 1992 camaro that was originally had a 305 tbi engine. The car now has a 350 TPI engine. The canister originally had three hose connected to it and one connection blocked off. I don't think this is correct for the TPI engine but am unsure of how to connect it up. Any diagrams or pictures would be great. Thanks.
