Vapor/Charcoal Cannister
Mattax, you're pretty intense man. That's a bit more work than I'm willing to put into mine. I'm either going to just replace that filter....or I'm looking around for another can that will work. There seems to be a few options out there. Nothing correct for an A body, but stuff I think I can make work.
I went through this recently with my '85 Grand Wagoneer. 'This' being charcoal making its way into the carburetor bowl. From your photo, it looks similar. So, if its internals are anything like the waggy's, there's a filter on top of the canister which has disintegrated. Also, if the venting is like the jeep's, then while running the connection to the cannister should be shut.
Anyway, here's the write up where I opened it up and replaced the filters. And probably only you guys and gals will understand the one signature line over there about a fish. :) Skim down for photos of both mine, and different variation of also used by AMC that another member posted.
And here's the charcoal inside the carburetor bowl. Couldn't figure out what it was at first, or maybe it was denial.
