Hi,
on my '88 E150, the can holds vacuum for the smog stuff - TAD, TAB vacuum solenoids.

The plastic ball is the heater vent control - DEF, Floor, AC vents, etc.

VRESER is a metal soup can for smog devices.

Thanks, ok, almost there then. From where does vacuum line come from and where does it go? I'm dealing with nothing. The diagram helps a lot but a pop up ad for ford keeps blocking when I try to increase to where I can see it. I'm getting real close thanks for one more push and I'll be there, odisvan

Should explain better, have alum intake, Holley carb, hei, no EEV anymore, no mass of plastic tubes and sensors and what not. So, all I'm hung up on is how vacuum arrives into and out of plastic ball. So thank you

Hello, I'm a newbie. The black ball is a resevoir. It's feed vacuum from a tri connection check valve. I think it is in line with the vacuum brake booster. I can S/B a reservoir too, maybe for EGR ? I hope I've helped you.p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%]reservoir

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; Reservop { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%;eservoir vacuum for the HVAC (Heating/Ventilation/Air Cooling) System.* I think the "Black hose is the main feed to the control panel.* I'm working on that on my E250, 1988. I don't have a "Coffee: can but that S/b a resivor too.* Maybe EGR system?* I hope I've hep { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120%; }
