[DeTomaso] curise control vacuum cannister question

[Will Kooiman]

That would be my guess.

A vacuum canister is pretty simple.  One side goes to a vacuum source,
usually the intake manifold.  The other goes to whatever you want to provide
the vacuum source to.

The only difference is the manifold side should have a one-way valve in it.
It allows air to be sucked out, but not pushed back in.  The side that goes
to your cruise control should be wide open.

That way, the manifold creates a vacuum inside the canister, and it isn't
allowed to drain.

You could probably blow in the AMP, and air would come out the MAN.  If you
blow in the MAN, it should be plugged.

That's the way I understand it anyway.

I just received the vacuum cannister for my Audiovox cruise control, but it
came with no directions.  There are simply two nipples to which to hook the
vacuum hose, one marked "MAN" the other marked "AMP" 

I'm assuming the "MAN" means that's the one to which I attach the hose
coming from the manifold.  Maybe "AMP" means amplified, as in more vacuum
which goes to the cruise control unit.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks a million,

Chris
