Charcoal cannister

Good idea. Significant credit goes to slantsixdan who helped me out back in 2016. In a nutshell here is it:

You can connect the hose from the canister's purge port to the carb's power brake vacuum port, but not just directly point-to-point. You will need to put in a purge valve (ie: Borg Warner CP104 Canister Purge Valve). That valve gets spliced right into the hose that runs from the canister's PURGE port to the carb's power brake port. Put a T in your distributor vacuum advance hose and connect a hose from that T to the purge valve's small vacuum fitting. When tuning your engine, make sure the distributor's basic timing and the idle speed are both adjusted correctly so that there is vacuum in that distributor vacuum advance hose only above idle, not at idle.
