[bobfist]

i have the original factory manual aand i can see the color of the vaccuum hoses connectred to one of the pods, but how are the other vacuum pod connected? and why are they two pods?

The metal one on the inner fender is your vacuum trunk release

Wow! I've been wondering about that one for a while now. My 70 300 has one. It wasn't hooked up and there was a plastic vacuum tank on the inner fender. The tank hit the floor when I had it off and didn't bounce well... So I just used the metal tank instead. My car doesn't have a vacuum trunk lock, but I'll bet the car that fender came off did.

I did find out that the metal tank is valuable to the 68-70 Charger crowd though...
