I've noticed on other 69s there's a vacuum canister (looks like a tin can) mounted to the factory air box right above the right valve cover. I haven't seen any parts houses that sell them, but it appears as though mine is missing. My car is pretty original, but I don't have that part. Any help where I can get one? Thanks :thumbsup:

only a/c cars have it. if you need stock looking used is your only hope, plastic replacements are still available from GM

Jeff-
Thanks for the info. I was afraid used was going to be the only answer.time to hit eBay- thanks again :beers:

My 70 LS-5 With A/C (one owner) has the tin can type. If you want a ORG. type Vac. can. Here is the answer. NEW or USED your call. It is perfect in every way. I have one on my Tlr. Queen 70.
Can you say " JEEP " . Jeep used this tin can the same as G.M.
on some of the late model Cherokee,s. I bought a new one at the Mopar dealership. Check out a junk yard, They are always in good condition. They are mounted on the inner fender. Hard to see. They sit between the inner fender and the fender. OUT of the weather. Not sure of the year.
A Jeep parts man may be able to help you out.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the info- there's a Jeep dealer across the street from my house I can check out- Thanks again.:thumbsup:

just to clear things up not all A/C cars got the tin can.
there was also a plastic one an original plastic one is alot different than the replacement you can still get from G.M.

I saw one of the plastic ones on a Chevelle at a show last weekend. I honestly thought it was just some aftermarket piece they added, but if it's GM, I'd consider it. Do you know what the reason was for the difference in canisters?
