    If you had a vapor recovery system originally, it would be very similar to the vapor recovery used in 1972. You can see that in the '72 FSM here http://trailforge.com/TSM/Section_04.pdf and here http://trailforge.com/TSM/Section_05.pdf

    To be more exact, you'll need to find a factory manual for the '71 model.

    If you did not have vapor recovery originally, then the vent tubes would have been plugged, and you would use a vented gas cap.
