I decided to spruce up my fan housing during my rebuild. I noticed what looked like a copper tube sticking out of the side. Well I guess it used to stick out. But someone cut it off nice and flush. It deformed a bit and half way closed up the approx 3/8" dia hole. I did some research and found that that pipe would lead to the charcoal canister. Well mine did not come with a charcoal canister. There is no evidence that one was ever mounted either.
'75 1.8 liter with L-jet injection. Engine was dead when I bought it, so I have never seen it run. Hence the question, did they all have the canister? Thanks, Clark |
