Default charcoal canister 1976

Hi crowd,
as a 10 yo (then) I remember the big day the new tough emmission rules came in and we all had to have charcoal canisters and all that pollution crap hampering our cars perfomance.

But I have never wondered until now if there is a "RULE" that states an actual date/ age or size requirement for a charcoal canister on a new build.

My Datsun Bluebird and Ford meteor candiates would fit well with my plan shape wise.


Extra info, L76 with evap solenoid, circa 95 litre alloy drop tank, vent to canister planned as hose and tube combo before a triple coil of hardtube terminating at the higher end of the filler neck. (The triple coil was a speedway rule for rollovers we had to comply with. Worked well too.)

Any past experiences, especially bad ones (testing/ rego hassles) I can learn from are welcome.

Thanks
