Plastic or steel ?

To do have a gas tank that mounts the canister to it? They change in 74.
74 has unique strap that mounts the canister on a stud in the back of the engine bay. In 75 they moved it again and it has a different strap

I do have one. Rust free with strap. it came out of a '72 or '73 and was mounted in the front trunk. $15 plus shipping.

My car is a 74 2.0l not sure about the mounting I have replaced gas tank, I could probably figure out how to mount either front or engine bay I did not know that there were plastic ones I would need a steel one for 74-76 would work

I also have a 74 2.0l. Look for an indented flat surface and the stud at the front of the inside of the trunk, about six inches left of the right side hinge. If you have it, use it as it is a very tidy mounting point. The front trunk bulkhead is actually different on the 1974 models.

Do you have picture? If I’m not mistaken the 914s didn’t have a charcoal canister until 74 which was front trunk mounted and the 75-76 was engine bay mounted

Do you have a picture?

I have this one for mounting on the tank. It only works if you tank has the brackets on the right side of the tank.
In late 74 the canister was moved to the back of the engine bay and uses a different bracket.

I’ve done some research I believe my date 7/74 would mean that I need the engine bay one and it needs to be plastic and possibly had an engine bay mounting bracket
