Project with my Grandson

[boxerdog]

Well, I know that's a charcoal canister and I'd think the shop manual would have that vacuum schematic somewhere, maybe under emissions controls. Sorry I am no more help, went through the same thing on a 79 El Camino but gave the book away with the car!

That black plastic can is an Evaporative Control Cannister, part of the smog system of the 70's that just about all GM cars had. Gas fumes from the tank are filtered through the charcoal in the can.

Bill,on the back of the carb ,#2 hooks to the choke pull off[#3].on the front,the large one is the pcv[3],#2 goes to the front choke pull off,#1,I think goes to the charcoal cannister ,#4 to the vacuum advance on the dist.That filter on the bottom of the cannister was at one time available from a GM dealer.

GM Part # 7026014 Vapor cannister filter. I think it's still available. It is used on most GM cars I think.

The spindles are different due to the lack of caliper mounts on the drum spindles, I am fairly certain that chevelle spindles will swap into your buick.
