OK, so I finally got around to installing manual brakes on the car, and I ran across something I don't quite understand. There is an air switch that allows air to flow into an air hose when the brake pedal is released. Now, I would have thought this hose would go to the brake booster in order to raise the pressure on the pedal side of the diaphragm, but it doesn't. Instead it goes to this reservoir thingy in the fender, which is in turn attached to the vacuum tree.
Does anyone know this system works, and why you would want air to flow to the vacuum system when the brakes are depressed? I assume I don't need this canister now since I don't have a brake booster anymore.
