 Dunno about YOUR 83 GTV-6, but mine (50 state 83 1/2 model) definitely has 
 a carbon canister concealed inside the right front fender.  You can easily 
 see the various hoses going to it, even if you can't see the canister 
 itself.  The biennial smog inspection is always fun, as the smog inspectors 
 can't seem to find the canister on their own.  When I show them where it 
 is, they don't want to believe it.  Back to the subject at hand.  All new 
 cars sold in the United States since, I believe 1970 or so must have a 
 carbon canister fuel vapor recovery system.

I believe the early '83 GTV6 never had the carbon cannister.  I might have
been added when they changed to the newer style distributer.  Mine has the
early type there as well
