Need some advice on the charcoal canister... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm totally rebuilding my truck from the ground up. It will keep the stock look, but I'm not concerned with shows or judges... lol

I am nearing completion of my engine and soon to bolt it back in the chassis.

Should I even bother to buy a replacement charcoal canister and install it? Pros/cons? I need to decide so I know how to plumb for the carb and intake.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions...

My truck is mostly stock and I wish I had the canister. Besides adding the extra touch that is overlooked it does actually work. When I park in the garage it smells like gas, with the canister it helps with the fumes. There are great diagrams in the factory service manual, but a little searching around here might turn something up too. So I vote yes!

If you decide to re-install it here are a couple of good threads on the subject. Especially the second one but you have to read the whole thread....
