In the past I:
Ran new fuel and vacume lines
Cleaned the interior
Replaced seals and gaskets on the fuel injection

Today I decided it was time to replace the charcoal in the canister next to the fuel tank
I purchased some replacement charcoal on Amazon. I've read that this isn't optimal but I feel it's got to be better than leaving the 45 year old origional mixture in the car.
