power break vacuum reservoir - reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Bill,

Yes, Dave Clelland is 100% right - the tank mounts INSIDE the driver's side
wheelwell, all the way at the front, to the rad. support bolts.

I am curious about one thing - you state: "where the diagram in the manual
shows it to go; under the battery tray,..." ; what manual are you referring
to ? if it's the service manual page 5-1, it's wrong, shows a '57 type
installation.

The supply vacuum hose for the reserve tank will run from the booster, all
the way forward, under the battery tray, thru the rad. support, and thru a
hole in the front fender to mate up with the intake nipple on the vacuum
tank.

Dear friends,

I have tried every concievable way to mount the vacuum reservoir tank
where the diagram in the manual shows it to go; under the battery tray, and
yet, no mounting holes seem to line up,nor do the bracket bends coinside
with the contours of the space. When I purchased my "G", the car was apart
and it came with two identical reservoir tanks.The integral attaching
brackets are bent in the exact same manner on both, so I did not suspect
they needed re-bending in any way.The tank is a cylinder about 12 inches
long.
One flange has a 90 degree bend in it with three holes ( one is elongated
and the other two are round with a 1and1/4 inch center to center spaceing.
The other flange is 12 inches long with a slight bend in the last two inches
with a hole. The tank looks to be about the same shape as the one in the
1960 chrysler repair manual,but the flanges are different. Do I have the
wrong tanks or am I overlooking something else?.


Thanks

Barrie Oblinger
P.S. If they are the wrong tanks, anyone
have a trade or one for sale?
