What is the purpose of the nasty filled can and is it possible to by pass it. Sorry I have a 72 plym and found the can in a box of parts. does it have to be used I plan on going with the HEI conv with elect dist if this makes a difference. Also using the super 6 set up. One other thing where besides ebay can I get manifold bolt/washer set. Thanks. Dean

Going to need a picture or more info.

Ill see if I can put one up later today I believe its the Charcoal canister? Looks like a bunch of felt coming off the bottom and the top is labeled where to attach the three hoses. Just wondering if this is needed or can it be eliminated.

charcoal canister...it's purpose is capture gas vapor from the carb bowl and to allow that vapor to be drawn back into the induction stream when the engine is running. An early "Clean Air Act" inspired device that's still used on cars today. I suspect it can be eliminated. I kept mine since I don't want gas vapor trapping under hood when the car is sitting....fire risk?. You can get the bottom-side replacement filters pretty cheap at RockAuto, Napa, etc. On mine, the material that holds the charcoal granules together in the plastic canister was falling apart, so I put a clear gas filter in-line between the canister and the carb base to prevent charcoal grains from being sucked into the engine. Hope this helps.

That sounds liek the charcoal canister. It is a very good thing to have and isn't worth removing. It has no negative impaction anything and is actually beneficial to the environment and your wallet since it traps the fuel that would otherwise evaporate and stores it to be used.

SlantSixDan revcently posted a link to an Allpar article about the charcoal canister and gave part numbers for a NEW charcoal canister that can be used to replace mising or worn out ones on our older Mopars.

First ex wife had a Isuzu that would suck pieces of charcoal into the carb. A fuel filter in the line fixed it.

Like others have said its just an emissions device for fuel vapors. You won't gain anything from it not being there, and you'll only eliminate fuel smell from the fuel vaporizing into the ozone having it installed.

if you don't want it, be sure to vent the tank outside of the vehicle, that way vapors arnt building up under the hood. For the bowl vent that would normally go to that can, tap a fitting into the bottom of your air cleaner housing and run a hose from the carb bowl vent to the air cleaner. Basically how every aftermarket carb vents its fuel bowls.

Having the can or not is up to you and if you need it to pass any emission test.

Not entirely true. I can help eliminate hard hot starts and will ave a bit of money by capturing fuel that would otherwise evaporate. Besides, emissions reduction is a worthwhile goal and a functioning charcoal cannister helps.

OK it stays thank all for the help. My previous darts were 69 and earlier they didnt have this item. So with that ressolved how 'bout where to get a int/ex manifold washer set

Re: D washers...had to go to eBay...recently R&R'd the in/ex maini's on my '73. At some point, someone had 1) intalled the two flex-loc nuts in reverse, destroying them, and 2) over-torqued on the D washers, deforming them.

Ebay was my solution, and it wasn't cheap considering what you get:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Slant-Six ... 1437025754

Flex-loc nuts can be found here:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#hex-locknuts/=ry4nng

You'll want 5/16-24

Since the mounting studs on mine were very worn, I replaced with these:

RE: manifold hardware. See Olafla's first post here: http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic ... ers+dorman

Good luck!

Once upon a time, SlantSixDan was working with Dorman to produce a slant six manifold hardware set, but I haven't heard any updates about that for a long time.

Hmm im going to have to check my canister out, had no idea it could get sucked back into the motor!

Gotta try the filter trick.
