Charcoal Canister Removal Question
Can any one explain the charcoal canister removal procedure. I know you will need a vented gas cap, but what about the vacuum ports on the carb. I read the canister goes bad over time, can you substitute one from a later model GM truck ? This is all aimed at eliminating a vacuum leak on my 350 with factory intake and original Quadrajet......

Re: Charcoal Canister Removal Question
Isn't the canister just a controlled "leak" anyway, and won't a vented tank condense more moisture into the fuel than a closed system? Inquiring minds want to know, so those of you with knowledge please share.....

My dad's truck ran just fine for 20 years with the canister unplugged and the hose simply taped shut.

Re: Charcoal Canister Removal Question
If you just disconect the hoses to the canister no vented cap is required

Re: Charcoal Canister Removal Question
Canister purge is not such a bad thing. I would buy a new canister and be done with it.
