That's the vapor purge tube that goes to the air cleaner housing.bkdunha
my question is out of the blue charcoal canaster whats the tube going up and angeling to the shock tower? there is nothing on mine its just open... no hose
I think the canister location on the OP's car might be correct. The canister was enlarged in '73, made taller by an inch or so, and may have not fit on the fender apron as on my '71. The holes in the tower are definitely punched through in the usual Ford style, so it's probably supposed to be there. It's been a long time since I worked on a '73, so the memory might be a bit fuzzy.
Fast E should be able to settle this one, as he is the original owner of his car...
