The tank venting is actually "a thing".. important, especially if you drive
in a wet climate.  I was having running problems with my 84...missing and
dying.  I chased everything trying to find why....till someone suggested
the tank venting might be the cause.  Sure enough, the grommets were rotted
away.  The. expansion tanks, right in the wheel wells, those were taking in
water like crazy...
