I believe if you interfere with pollution stuff, then there is a huge fine.
But where there are no annual inspections, like here in WA, then go for it. Who's gunna know!

There's abit of farting around to hook all the original gear up, but like 1970galaxie said, living in WA can have it's priviledges ;)
The charcoal cannister is a filter. One small hose goes from the fuel tank and the other to a vacuum port on the carby/manifold. It basically sucks all the bad air from your fuel tank and burns it in your engine. It sits on the passenger firewall and looks like a black milo can ;) The guy wuld have taken the hose off going to the carby or has it coiled up with a bolt in the end. There's a few other bits and pieces that hook up to the manifold and carby. Get hold of a workshop manual and it displays all the connections real simply. |
