Getting ready to take the FI Tech plunge.

I've read every thread on them that I can and seem sold on it for my needs and wants.

I was going to use the RobbMc powersuge but I really like the idea of the FCC and the fewer hoses to run. It does seem like FItech has addressed the overheating with PWM control on the unit.

The system is going on a 1980 trans am with a 455. I have a factory style fuel pump with a return line at the pump and the vent line open where it should connect to the charcoal canister. I have all new lines and tank or I would consider going with an efi tank.

If I hook the FCC to the vent line, won't I be effectively closing off the vent line to the atmosphere sealing the tank? I would assume that changing to a vented gas cap should allow the tank to breath? Do they make a vented gas cap to fit a 1980 tank?

Is there a one way valve, similar to a plumbing pro vent, that could be placed in between the FCC and the vent line? This would let air in but no fumes out.
