Hey Hugh.  First off, I have been playing with this system since last fall.  
If yo do get the system started, you will need an anti run on valve.  As the 
gases are drawn into the canister, this anti-run on valve stops the gases 
from being drawn into the engine after the ignition is turned off.  The 
canister itself can be opened by turning the base.  It just unscrews.  It has 
screens at the top and bottom and material similar to fiber glass holding the 
charcoal in.  I used just plain fish store charcoal.  The key is that air can 
move freely through the canister.  Once you get it back together, jsut blow 
on the bottom intake.  You should not feel much of a restriction, or use an 
air compressor at low psi to check the flow of air.   Only having two ports 
on the top, I am guessing you have a 70/73.  The older models have three 
ports.  Make sure all the lines are in good shape, no cracks and free of 
obstructions.  The final comment on the the anti-run on valve.  The Dan 
Master electrical book discusses the proper valve test proceedures.  Good 
Luck
