Well here is the answer about the air canister. The Previous owner added
the air canister and vacuum check valve to help the windshield washers work
better. The air tank was from an oldsmobile headlight opening mechanism. I
repaired the leaks and replaced the valve and it works fine now.
Thanks for the input.
