I have a 1969 chevelle SS w/ a 396/325 h.p. Since i bought it it hasn't had a charcoal canister on it. Should it and where do I get one? Any information you can give me is apprecticate it in advance.

Should not have a charcoal cannister, '71 was first year with possible exception of Calif. cars.

Fred is bang-on. I have an original mailer from our local Chevy dealer from '70 that covers the new emissions tech. The charcoal canister schematic is shown over a Monte Carlo silloette. I was California only for '70 & 49 state in '71. I don't recal our '74 having such a system though. As far as a replacement charcoal canister, I've never seen anyone advertise them. I wonder if dealers could still get them?
