Ok, I've got the canister mounted where Factory Five recommends. (I'm doing a completely stock build.) I hooked up the two hoses to it, one from under the intake manifold and the other from the gas tank. I used the small diameter extensions on the top of the canister and the two large ones don't have anything hooked to them. Is this right? Do they have to have a dust sheild on these large openings or can I leave them open. Sorry, I just simply forget how it was set up in the Mustang. Thanks for the help!

I believe the two larger holes are vents, but they are supposed to have plastic caps that are about 1" in diameter in them. Apparently yours are missing. I doubt that it matters technically.

The two large openings should have dust caps on them. Also, the line that goes to the intake should have a "charcoal canister purge solenoid" valve in it.

Is the charcoal canister still used if the air pump is removed?

Your missing the two caps, lots of Fords use the same type canister. I bought a 76 Thunderbird and noticed the same canister as the Mustang. T Bird has a 460 that runs great, don't know what I'll do with it

Thanks you guys. I'll see if I can get some from Ford or the boneyard. This thing is coming along really nice now! I can't wait!!!
