The port on the driver's side tin is correct for a '73 MY 2.0 car's charcoal canister. The port on the fan housing was for the later cars that had the canister mounted near the battery. I don't recall the exact changeover, but I think it was about '74. You have tin and a housing from different years, so just cap the one not being used.
Edit: Another look at your hose routing suggests that your car(or at least the plastic tubes across the front of the engine) are for a 1.7. The 1.7 cars used the port by the battery as well. |

My 74 2.0L (built March 1974) has the charcoal cannister mounted with a strap to the back of the forward trunk wall and uses the port on the fan housing. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) there looks to have been a lull in 74 2.0 production from nov 73 to sometime in feb 74 from all the L jet data we have. they mainly made the new L jets during those months. not many if any 2.0s down the line. |
