This is now the vacuum manifold/reservoir for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Since I'm running triple Webers I need to pull vacuum from each individual intake runner and combine the signal with the reservoir so I will have vacuum for the power brakes. I decided to use two parts from the Crown to make the new reservoir. Name those two parts.

Looks almost like a fuel system offgassing filter housing or oil reservoir of some kind + a support for a steering relay or something. I don't know my Yotas. I'm going to have to do something similar with my Honda throttle bodies on my project - not that it came with power brakes, but if I can, why not?

That is one strange bong.

Looks beefy...

Is it a trailing-arm mount welded to section of axle sleeve?

And what is it about the triple Webers that you need to pull individual vacuum lines?

There's no central intake plenum so each individual runner is used to source vacuum. To get a strong vacuum you have to combine them all into a single source.

Close...One part is a steering component...

Nope.

No...no EGR, and brakes are standard vacuum assist.

Bird,

Where are you in KY? I live in Lex and would love to see your project sometime!

The small mount looks like a lower control arm steering knuckle.

I'm in Brownsville, just outside of Bowling Green. Let me know if you're ever in the area, I'd be happy to show you the car.

Not the steering knuckle, but very close. I'm about to make a new post with the answer.
