Parts Wanted 71 Fuel Vapor Canister Cap

[73mockone]

The plastic vent cap was cracked during restoration. I'm looking for a good used one from a 71-73 with no cracks. Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for a vent cap for the emission canister or the fuel tank?

The vent cap for the fuel vapor, or "charcoal" canister similar to the pic below.....

If you don’t mind a non stock look you could put a little pod filter on it.

Mine is on the part that would have gone to the air cleaner

I’m sure Motorcity Mustang‘s has one, but if he doesn’t, I’m sure I have one at my place in Az. I’m in Ca for a week or so. PM me if you get desperate.

Are you talking about where the clamp is,if so that connects to your air cleaner base with an emissions hose. That cap in the center is part of the canister. I had a time finding the hose . NPD had it. The fitting on the air cleaner base twists in. Most are gone . Mine cracked. I glued it to the housing

Let me look at the garage and see if I have some for you.

Wow, you certainly have a few! I have the canister, but am missing the vent cap. I'll keep an eye on your site for one for sale. Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, I am just looking for the plastic vent cap that is on top of the middle tube coming from the canister. I was hoping to not have to purchase a new canister to get one.

I can sell you just the cap. Shoot me your zip code and I can figure pricing w/shipping.

A few questions about these canisters;

I've noticed that there is both a short and tall canister, will either work with our cars?

Does the charcoal ever get fowled/old and need replaced?

 

[Motorcity Mustang]

The tall canisters are for 73 Mustangs and the shorter canisters are for 71/72. You really can't replace the charcoal inside as it can't be opened. I have had canisters break inside and then they are junk (or just for looks). I am not an expert to be honest on the charcoal, so not sure if it lasts forever or for how long. Maybe someone on this forum would be able to answer that.
