  Hi Ken, I've done this conversion on my 78.  I pluged the fuel return
  lines going to the carbon canister.  The valve cover breather,
  emission control valve and carbon conister are connected together with 
  the metal breather tube original to the old carb setup using PVC hoses.
  For some reason, if this is not connected properly, you will get lots
  of blue smoke at your exhaust.  Good luck, and be sure to get the proper
  jets for your HS2's.
