I don't even have a vacuum reservoir. PO cut it completely out and sealed up the tubes after it got a hole in it.

Edit: Works fine, vent just fades whenever I ask for a little power.

eh i wanna keep working better lol

I'm itching for a project, this seems cheap and easy, I think I'll put this on the list.

OK so what does that vacuum canister do?? be gentle..lol...Tj

Howler_GT

It stores engine vacuum. Allows things like A/C vents to be closed when engine is not running.

I moved mine from inside the bumper to just in front of the harmonic balancer.

I have the bumper ends removed, so I always saw the canister and it felt like my fly was open...lol

Went from here:




To here:



Nice plate of stainless steel and some stainless hardware. Used the original hose ends/connectors and a longer piece of hose to reach the new location.
Out of sight...out of mind.
