Steve,
The vapor line runs from the gas tank up to the charcoal canister. I
believe the fuel vapors are then "recycled" and burned through the carb.
If you plug the line at the trunk, the fuel tank will not "breathe"
properly and a vacuum will exist. I think the fuel flow then becomes
restricted somewhat. When you remove the gas cap you will hear a whoosh
sound, which means there is air rushing into the tank. I had a plugged
vapor line on my 79B and was having fuel flow problems, I unplugged the
line and all is well, with no vacuum in the gas tank
