Anybody know what this is?

I’ve looked at it and many of the tubes on the top were cut so it must be original but not necessary

Charcoal canister for fuel vapor

Not necessary to run the vehicle but if your garage has the smell of gas, it might be good to re-plumb it.

And the more it gets driven, the more likely you are to smell gas when you park it in what looks like a nice garage attached to the house.
If that’s the case, then I recommend you reconnect the system.

What year is the bronco? If it’s a ‘70 through’75, is the recovery tank part of the system still mounted behind a side panel just behind the driver seat?
Since it looks like it’s been repainted, hopefully that part hasn’t been removed. Not the end of the world if it has, but easier to reconnect.

Stock, gas tanks, or aftermarket?

Do a search on this site about "charcoal cannisters". PS: You're a lucky fellow. You still have one.

Is there any diagram on reconnecting the whole system? I do have that gas smell and never knew it was related. My canister and recovery tank are present but I bet they need replumbing. I do not have the stock air cleaner—could I convert a vapor line to the bottom of an aftermarket air cleaner?

Nevermind! Found the diagrams in another thread.

Yes. This is what I am going to use.

Awesome! Thank you! I looked and my air cleaner base has dimples that look like this is made to fit. Sweet.

Yes and probably has a punch out like an electrical box like mine does. Maybe that is what you mean by dimples.

"closed” PVC system might B part of this arrangement~
meaning theres a continuous circulation “top end” and
‘bottom up” (Valve Cover to Crankcase). This pecks offa
lill bit off that. Ahhh, the early ‘pollution controll’, so basic.
I like better now, its so much more positive, protective.

Yep, I think that’s it. I just ordered that part—excited to not have a smelly garage.

1974. New tank. Would like to upgrade the charcoal in this

Just a heads up that edlebrock part you link Is huge. I tried one for my air cleaner to attach to my oil cap vent. It takes a really big internal diameter hose think it was 3/4. I ended up making my own from a brass barbed elbow. Cheaper and came out way better.

“...Is huge...."
lo volume, slo speed
