I recall seeing a pretty late model Nissan minivan with a very similar vapor canister...
The dimensions of the canister portion only are 5.75" tall (excludes valves) and 5" in diameter.

The correct ports for the 71-72 are CARB, PCV and FUEL TANK.

The stubs I was referring to (top inside) are simply hundreds of air passages in the mold. A better image of this is below. The crusty areas around some of the parameter is where I attempted to cut along the seam near the top. If you're unable to see the pictures and want to, send me a PM with your email.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
