Where might I find a wiper vacuum canister for my '36 Sdean? Sure would appreciate any good suggestions. Happy Holidays to all, Dale Smith

A "wiper vacuum canister"? What exactly is that? Mike "Kube" Kubarth

It is a large can something like a 3 pound coffee can that can store a vacuum when properly connected to the intake manifold and the windshield wiper vacuum motor. Use a check valve in the hose going from the intake manifold to the canister so the vacuum will not be drained off when you have to increase the throttle opening to accelerate or climb hills.

Okay, now I understand. Not a '36 Ford part for certain. I have done this on client's cars. These days might be a little tough to find a can. Perhaps a juice can, the 46oz. size? Do they still sell stuff like that? Obtain the can, punch or drill two small holes in an end to evacuate the liquid. Solder two short nipples in place. The check valve can be obtained at NAPA. They have a small, compartmented metal case with 12 plastic variations. Inexpensive. This modification helps but not a lot. In my opinion, not with the effort. Rather, having the wiper motor properly rebuilt will most likely amaze you. I prefer the Wiper Man in New York. Dave Ficken. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

I would visit any scr*p/junk yard. Both Chevrolet and Ford used vacuum canisters on their AC/Heat systems. You might be able to pick one up for a couple of dollars. I would also check E-Bay motors under "Vacuum Canisters" and see what pops up.

If you check Dorman products under "Dorman Vacuum Reservoir", several pop up and most under $20.
