Some vapor canisters are much simpler than the one in the picture. My ‘75 has one hose to the gas tank vent and one hose that used to go to a dedicated vapor port on the Quadrajet. The carburetor port apparently only vented under certain throttle conditions.

I now have mine vented to atmosphere (added a brass fitting on the air cleaner body) because I have a newer Quadrajet. For a while I also tried using a T in the PCV line, but it seemed to lean out the idle a little too much.
This is an 83 when they really started to get crazy with hoses and lines.

I was thinking about something really simple like you describe…vent line to a carbon tank and that’s it..or just some kind of filter on the vent to keep stuff out. Frankly I like the smell of gasoline

Ricko if you help me figure out were the esc is and exactly what wires connectors go with it I’d be happy to send it to you.

I should be working on the truck this weekend
The ESC controller is a silver box mounted behind the glove box I'll post a pic,there is a 4 wire harness that leads to the firewall from by the distributor you can trace that to it. I'll put a pic of the controller and pigtail,I'd love to have the controller the tip in switch (solenoid looking thing) and any of the wiring to and from those that you don't want. Thanks P.M. me with how much and how to pay you.
