Hello all!
Does anyone know how to route the charcoal canister on a 914 that’s LS swapped? I have most of the connections routed, I just need know where to route the hose that went to the stock 914 engine fan. Would it be better to remove the charcoal canister entirely? Attached image(s) |

Hello all! Does anyone know how to route the charcoal canister on a 914 that’s LS swapped? I have most of the connections routed, I just need know where to route the hose that went to the stock 914 engine fan. Would it be better to remove the charcoal canister entirely? Removing the charcoal canister is never a good idea. You will end up with the smell of gas in the car, and it is not good for the environment. The charcoal canister system on the 914 is simple because it can take advantage of the engine fan to push the fuel vapor to the air cleaner. A Chevy charcoal canister system has a "purge valve" that controls the vapor recovery. Before computers, the purge valve was vacuum operated, and was triggered by a ported vacuum connection. When the vacuum went away (the engine was not at idle), the purge valve opened and allowed engine vacuum to pull in the vapors from the charcoal canister. Later computer controlled cars use the ECU to open the purge valve. You need an early Chevy purge valve, and it needs to be hooked up correctly to the engine. The part number is "Standard Ignition Products CP109" Clay |
