    I am trying to find a diagram that has the body and engine bay labeled so i can know what I am looking at. Does this exist? I have looked online and on this site but so far no luck. I am trying to restore a 73 Maverick Grabber and its kinda frustrating when I see things under the hood and do not know what it is. Thanks for any help!

    Blue box is the charcoal canister, it vents fumes from the gas tank into the air cleaner housing so they can be burned by the engine. The round one is the heater blower motor.

    Looks like a decent project. How's the underside look?

    round one on firewall is the blower motor and the blue one is the charcoal cannister used to capture vapors from the fuel tank.

    There is some rust but the body is straight except for one of the fenders which I already have a replacement. Is the charcoal canister able to be removed or do i need to leave it?

    the charcoal canister can be removed but its a smog device that keeps the fuel vapors from entering the atomspher.
