Vacuum system

We had no vacuum canister so we got one. The vacuum canister was rusty and old it came from a junk yard. I Sanded the canister and used a metal epoxy to fill in the holes on the canister. The epoxy hardends in 5 minutes. Then I painted the vacuum canister black. Well it was dry I figured out how to mount it. I used All Round wire. I attached a hose to the vacuum pump and one going to the break power booster.

For testing I attached all the hoses to the canister. We started the engine and the vacuum Gage said it had 15 inches of vacuum. We shut off the engine and the vacuum in the canister disappeared. We realized that the canister had a one way value. I change the hoses and attached the canister beside of the car battery.
