Merry Christmas first off!
I have a question, I'm stumped on something on my 66 fleetwood with a 429.  When looking over the car when I got it, I found a tank/cylinder that's mounted underneath front of the motor just above the rubber splash shield.  It has a vacuum line that goes up to the pcv T and another smaller line that goes up to passenger side frame rail and runs towards rear of car. Also there's a Schrader valve on the passenger side of the tank. Any ideas what this is? 
Thanks much!

That is the compressor (works on vacuum) for your ALC (Automatic Level Control) system.  Would be somewhat surprised if yours was still working.

Wow, I thought that site was not working anymore.  Glad to see it is still helpful.
