« on: January 18, 2013 - 11:46:00 AM »
Okay fellas,  can anyone tell me what this is, what is does and do I need it.? It's the triangular shaped thing in the middle of the photo.  Its mounted on the upper firewall, passenger side.  It has two vacuum lines coming from it.   1973 'Cuda   

Thanks

It's the OSAC valve.  It's part of the emissions system.

One line should run to the carb the other the distributor
