canister

I have a 73 f100 with a 360. Theres some sort of a canister on the driver side wheel well under the hood. It has 2 lines connected to it and one line goes to the manifold. The canister appears to be empty since when you turn the engine off it pops like the suction had just stopped making the canister snap or make a popping noise. Anyway, my questions are, What does it do? And should it have something in it or is the popping noise normal? And finally, is it something that I really need to have hooked up?

Thanks for the response, I've never heard of that. I always thought it was some sort of fume thing from the gas tank.
