TommyLCoulter Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 I am looking for a vacuum canister bracket for a 1970 mc. Does anyone have one they could part with? Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 That's funny I just saw somewhere that has them new but can't remember where I saw it. If I think of it I'll let you know. Quote

lastss Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 No the bracket for the emissions vacuum canister that lines go to to carb and store fuel fumes is what I thought he means. I do still have other parts just health gets in the way. Quote
TommyLCoulter Posted April 7, 2024 Author Posted April 7, 2024 Yes, it's the one that goes to the carb and stores fuel fumes (the little metal soup can). Quote
Marks71 Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 Sounds to me like it’s the one, as Rob said that mounts to the.AC plenum and not that carbon canister mounted on the drivers side next to the radiator. 1 Quote

mon-tss Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 I don't think 70 used that cannister unless you have a California emissions car 2 Quote

stangeba Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 Picture from my 71 350 4bbl Monte. Lots of small hoses attached to all this Quote
stangeba Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 3 more pics of the evap system on my 71: This was leaking vacuum (see the damage) so I replaced the entire canister many years ago. This small blue restrictor was inside one of the small hoses, shown on the diagram below. I almost threw that restrictor out the day I replaced all the small hoses. 1 Quote
TommyLCoulter Posted April 8, 2024 Author Posted April 8, 2024 This is the bracket I need. For a '70 Monte Carlo. Quote
willie Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 I will ck my parts cars for you but they are 71 and 72 Tom. Not sure they will be there. I will let you know tomm!! Quote

I agree Willie. I don't know if I have seen many, if any 71/72's with that type of vacuum cannisters. I have seen some 70 Monte's with the plastic ones. I think it is kind of funny when I look at mine. It almost looks like a they had some coffee cans laying around and decided to do an original "recycle" alteration. rob Quote
Dtret Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 I’ve never seen that. School me. I need more pictures. Where exactly does it go. Quote

Dennis, it mounts on the air conditioning plenum, between the planum and the passenger side valve cover but slightly higher than the valve cover. It is either black plastic on a 71 and 72 but looks like a sealed coffee can on most 70 Monte's. I will see if I can find one in a picture. rob Quote
Rob Peters Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Here you go Dennis: you can see it between the air cleaner and AC plenum painted simi gloss black. I am not sure where it mounts on a Non/AC car. 1 Quote

Dtret Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Thanks. I was thinking of the emission canister not the coffee can. Quote
willie Posted April 10, 2024 Posted April 10, 2024 No good on my cars, mine have the plastic one!!! Quote
