Not tractor related at all but a friend bought a real nice 51 Ford car with a flathead 8. In the engine compartment attached to a fender there is a jar that has a hose coming from the top of the jar and going to a plate below the carb on the intake manifold. On the top of the jar there is an adjusting valve connected to the hose and on the manifold the hose Y's off and connects to two tubes that go into this plate under the carb. I haven't seen it, he was describing it to me over the phone. This friend is a collector and he knows his vehicles but he's never seen anything like this. Do any of you guys have an idea what this jar was used for? My guess is it's some kind of an aftermarket performance gimmick that was sold way back then.
