VIN Decoder Questions
Yes, another VIN decoding thread... 
I just did the auto atlanta VIN decoder, quite a few options showed up that aren't on my hatch area tag...
Car is an 83...
Highlighted in red are my questionable options... Were some of these US standard options, like the 484? What is activated charcoal canister? What do all these other options in red mean?
Also, what does the first line of my option tag mean? (8054 43-1-6803 403 UB)
Thanks

the charcoal canister is/was a required emissions system. the canister is in your driver side front fender and the "stuff" by your brake booster goes with it. depending on your inspection lays you can take it all off.
