74 1.8, built Jan 74 - charcoal cannister mounting position at rear of engine bay.
original apart from installation of high pressure fuel filter (silver cylinder) mounted off deacceleration valve bracket. decal valve has been replaced by a dummied in fuel pressure regulator. this was a "fix" by the original owner back in the 70s/early 80s and an emission cheat probably. i've left it alone as it works well.
there is contrary information around on the plumbing of the charcoal cannister for a 1.8.
this plumbing is original.
hope this helps.
Click to view attachment Click to view attachmentThe two big hoses on the charcoal canister are hooked up backwards. The fan end should go in the same location as the small vapor line from the tank. The other end should go to the air cleaner.
That is supposed to push air through the charcoal canister and take the vapors with it into the air cleaner.

thanks mr. p - been through this with mr. b.
layout in pic is for a 74 1.8 with can in engine bay.
bigger discussion in this thread.
assumptions can plumbing stayed consistent through production run tested by indications to the contrary.
a few other 1.8s around with original engine bays are consistent with above photo as well.
