i know some one will be able to explain this to me real easy.
in the fender well on my '52, near the aentenna for the radio there is a tank like object. Kind of long and narrow with rubber tubing. the tubing goes to the engine, under the carb , on exhaust. so i think this has to do with vacuum
. the tubing looks ok. i think at some point i should replace it. does this have any bearing on the workings of the wipers? i do believe one tube must go to the trans. am i correct?
thanks in advance for the lesson. i tried a search but came up zero.
have a great packard day.
