Vacuum canister location

[dspur]

A lot of parts were missing on my 69 Super Bee (4 speed factory air). Bit by bit I am getting everything sourced, restored or repaired.
Dumb question but I would assume there should be a vacuum canister? And if so where is it located, what is it hooked to hose wise etc. ? A pic would be great.
TIA

As far as I know that was for Chargers with vacuum operated headlight doors.

I’ve seen small cans similar to the 70 air grabber can under the battery tray years ago like long ago lol

Why would you need a vacuum canister for a Bee?

Maybe he thinks it has one for the AC?

Didn’t some ac cars have a vac can? Maybe to help keep the actuators open during operation

Thanks all. I may not need one. I am uneducated on the factory ac, and ran across a canister online for 69-70 b body ac heater vacuum canister ‍

Excuse my ignorance but what’s the function of this can in relation to the AC?

Only thing I could think of is the three actuators on the ac heater box.
I am out of town but will try to post the advertisement for it that has me confused next day or two.

Here is why I am questioning whether or not an AC vacuum canister is needed.

Looks like a 68-69 but I’ve seen a smaller in a 70 Satelite

On 71's it's located under the battery tray. Look for the two small holes under there, that would be evidence of one being mounted.

AC cars also used one. My 70 Charger/Coronet service manual shows it in the vacuum diagram. Is your 70 Charger an AC car? I kinda wonder it it shares the can or has separate ones.

Yes my 70 charger has one and it is an AC car, under battery tray

I had been wondering what the source of vacuum is for the controls and the actuators, but I guess I am even more confused. I still 1) not 100% this applies to my 69 Super Bee with factory air and 2) where it is mounted and where the lines connect. As I stated above, there were lots of parts and pieces missing so I had no basis to go by. I guess I need to study the vacuum lines on the heater ac box and also look for any areas under the hood where this may have been mounted, IF it even applies to my vehicle

look under battery tray and see if it there. Do you have a heater water valve?

 

[dspur]

I will look under the battery tray tomorrow. I do have a water valve, had it rebuilt. It does not have a actuator on it as the one shown in your pic. Thanks much!

In 69, the B body AC system does NOT use a vacuum canister. If you have a big cam, the one in the pic can help IF you find it goes to defrost at idle - the default position.

Thank you!
