Re: [Chevelle-list] What's behind the back seat?
Thanks!

It's part of the emission control system. The gas tank and carburetor ventingwere all connected together through a system of vent hoses and a charcoal canister up by the driver side fender well and the mystery canister behind the back seat. These cars were some of the first to have closed fuel system venting. I believe 1971 was the first year. Before that all tanks and carburetors were simply vented to the atmosphere. All the vent hoses from the gas tank and a hose from the charcoal canister up front converge at the mystery canister. My guess is that since it is mounted higher than the gas tank the vapors, theoretically, would collect in the canister and then be drawn back to the carburetor by a vacuum hose connected to the charcoal canister up frontwhen the engine was running. How well it really worked I don't know. Bill Vander Werf - Original Message - From: Jimmy C.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust
Hi Mark, Mine is an original 70 350 with a few modifications, with no internal changes but it has a really nice sound. I have Sanderson headers leading to 2 1/2 pipes with 40 series Flowmasters and SS oval tips. I live in the Chicago area if you are within the same area fell free to contact me and come on over and listen or meet. I have gotten quite a few complements at shows on how it sounds.

I want to upgrade the exhaust from the motor to the tips. I'd like it to sound more old school and I don't want it to sound like a new Mustang if you know what I mean. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
Re: [Chevelle-list] Exhaust
Thanks for all the replies! I don't think I want glass packs on my Chevelle, but, it's a thought. I'm just afraid that the Flowmasters have become the standard sound and I would like something different. How much does header choice affect the sound vs. muffler choice? Thanks again, Mark And Chuck, I would love to take you up on your offer, if I ever make it to Chicagoland. (I'm in L.A.)
