Looking for 73 Trans Am Super Duty pics

No.. It is complete the way you see it. The fuel lines run right by it so I'm thinking maybe the fuel hose or fuel return hose was supposed to hook up to it. Maybe some type of accumulator..The bolt holding it looked to be factory. Wierd.

As you can see, Bud has been looking at his avatar just a little too long!!!

I don't know what it is, but I'm curious. I will ask our shop foreman first thing tomorrow, he's been working on the Pontiacs since early 70's. If it's factory, hopefully he'll know.

Charley That part is an accumulator The V-8s had a gasline knock that sounded like an engine knock This was installed at assembly line to cure the problem The 73 Pontiac manual shows the gas hoses routed thru the accumulator

Thanks....I learn something new everyday...Problem is I forget even more every day.

Charley I bypassed some accums because of gas leaks,so i wouldnt hook it back up. I spent a few years at a Pontiac dealership.

Bwag is right on, there was a campaign on this even. Partech is trying to find the campaign number and part number for you. I'll let you know if they have any luck. Our records only went back to 84.
