I have researched on this forum for a couple of days trying to figure out if the 914-6 came with an expansion tank and charcoal canister, I do not have either on my '70 # 2604. My 6 has the brackets for the expansion tank so that seems logical but I have seen a lot of posts saying the 6's did not have a canister, does anyone have an original 6 that could comment on this. Thanks!

Doing a little research and thinking about the system the answer is simple, if you have the hoses that go back to the air cleaner in the engine compartment it was probably installed
An installation requires holes in the front trunk and under the relay board in the engine compartment. Here is an illustration from the shop manuals, air is circulated from the fan to the canister then it pushes fumes to the air cleaner on the engine. I know this is a diagram of a 4 cylinder car but the concept is the same for a six.  |
