Question. What is this? And where do all the hoses connect to? Still waiting on my book to tell me, but figured I would ask! Thanks

It describes the Opel GT fuel tank venting system. The last paragraph starts with a photo of the charcoal canister and then describes its "plumbing."

Hope this helps,

That is the charcoal canister... 1970's technology for emissions control. The hoses go to the carb and back to the fuel tank.
