I know one of you two guys can answer my question.
I am installing a vacuum reservoir for my power trunk. I pulled two out of my US GP parts car. One is very tiny, about 3" diameter, 4" tall. One is about 7" diameter, 8" tall. I am thinking one of these is for the vacuum trunk, one is for the a/c. These two were in the driver's front wheel well tucked inside the fender (under the hood of course), the 3" one in front of the tire, the 8" one rear of the tire.
Which tank do you guys have in your factory air cars, and where does it mount? I found a Ringo picture showing the front of the passenger inner fender and I don't see a tank there.
Is one of you able to post a picture of it?
Thanks.

If its any help my 69 442 rag had locks, cruise, trunk & AC. It had the larger tank in front of the drivers side inner fender. Did not have a second tank
I was surprised to see this one with two tanks. I wish the hoses were still on but the hoses were pulled off before I got the car, so can't trace them.

No, I mean the vacuum reservoir, not the actuator. It looks like a squished version of the can we used to buy tomato juice in, with the "corrugated" sides.

Sorry to be late on this but my AC 66 only had the small black plastic vacuum thingy like Johnny's. So does the Gimli 1/2 AC car. No tomato can. If your US car has the tomato can as part of the AC system it may be because it was the automatic Temperature controlled AC. The Canadian cars only had Manual AC offered which was a simpler system I think.
By the way Johnny one of the pictures that I think will be used in the January 14 Edmonton Journal feature on my 66 was taken when I dropped the parts off at your place. Your shop was so cool I took a snap with the car and sent it in when I was proposing the feature. I hope you don't mind. There is no id where it was taken so nobody is going to be able to figure out where that was.
