Can anyone tell me what that round canister is coming off my brake booster. And do I need it? Also where does the vacuum line run to. Mine is going to the back of the carb. I believe it should be from the manifold? Can anyone verify? Many thanks as always.

Looks like the GM guys have been under the hood. It's a filter from the chevys. Not needed. Vacuum comes from the manifold
 
Do the brakes work fine?

Just needs a manifold vacuum source. It can come from the intake runner or the carb base, won't matter.

Yes a GM type filter. Wont hurt to have it.

brakes work and are solid, but it requires a bit of an effort to stop the car when the brakes get hot. Sometimes I need two feet on the pedal.
 
When was the last brake job? Did you have the drums turned? Just a thought.
 
It's been a while since the brakes were changed. This is a winter project to replace the shoes, turn the drums and replace all the hardware.
 
From the Corvette forum
It keeps your diaphragm from being damaged by contaminants which may otherwise (somehow) migrate into the booster.

I agree with the Mopar guys here, get that chev junk off your car.
