Fuel tank vent puking gas !!

[DarkoNova]

So the charcoal canisters off the newer cars need to be connected to the ECM to work properly? I want to get a 67-68 Camaro gas tank and move the gas cap up between the tail lights on my Nova, along with using a non-vented cap. It looks like using a charcoal canister would be the best solution for venting it.

I was already planning on using one when I did my LS swap, but I'm willing to do it with the SBC if it'll stop the gas spillage and odors.

What's the simplest setup for a carbureted engine? I mean what range of cars should I look for at the junkyard, and how would I connect it?

Maybe I should have swiped the canister off my old BMW before I dropped it off at the junkyard.

No, late model or old style they will work the same. It is just that with the LS and full wire harness I was able to hook it all up like OEM. You could use a late model one and not hook the electric to it.

They all do the same thing from venting the air in and out of the tank through the canister - then using a purge line to the engine through the solenoid valve if you wish. I'd just get the manual from whatever donor car you swipe the canister from and hook it up that way.
