Every convertible came with one. No one is sure just exactly what the true purpose of the item is......but they are there. Is listed in the parts manual as a "muffler". Mine has it also. Mine was black, and I then wrapped some chrome tape around it to dress it up. The wipers do come off the same vacuum line beneath the dash. One branch of the the line goes to the vacuum top push/pull switch on the passenger end of the dash.....then on back to the two top cylinders. I believe the "muffler" is actually a vacuum check valve. Blowing through each end produced this discovery for me. - Mark D Quote
Bingster Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 That's exciting! Looks great. And you painted the engine in the car? That's really encouraging. Wonderful job. Quote
