Help finding a part

[tiger75al]

I have a 72 pickup with AC. I recently had a vacuum tank break off and land on the manifold and melt it. I am having trouble finding a replacement part. I believe it's a vacuum tank, it was mounted on the side of my AC unit, and has one tube coming from the top of the manifold into the vacuum tank and another going into the firewall. Could anyone help please?

I have a 72 rusting away in the field, don't remember if its AC or not.
If it is, and its there, its yours for the cost of shipping.
I'll let ya know 2morrow.

Have fun....don t. ....

UPDATE....It is an AC truck, but im missing that part as well...sorry.

Thank you for the help. I was also curious would this cause it to run poorly? It seems like it's not running on all cylinders. I just replaced the distributor, and all the points. Just seems when I push on the gas it kind of stalls and then kicks in, and does this in the first couple of gears. Have not tested it on the highway just curious if this vacuum might be causing this issue. Any ideas?

Yes, if your vaccum cannister melted and is leaking vaccum it will cause the engine to miss. Until you get the replacement part, plug the vac hose going to the cannister. If this clears up the rough running you will be fine, if not then check the dwell, and check to be sure the plug wires are not crossed
good luck
