Don't block them off!
They are the breather pipes for your elec. fuel pump.
The 'points' that switch the pump are vented by one,
and the other is the vent for air behind the diaphragm.
If it were leaking gas , liquid would be coming out
of one of them if the diaphragm were damaged.
It's probably either the vapor separator, up inside the right fender
or it's pipes, or the top of your gas tank is rotted away,
allowing the vapors to rise into the trunk.

Subject: SMOG-the two fittings in the boot
High and forward in the "trunk" of my 71 there are two small plastic
fittings
that are unconnected and uncapped. I suspect one of them is the source
of
strong fuel odor after filling the tank.
Is something missing?
