I just discovered a strange cylinder under the manifold, I'm a mechanical novice but I'm making my first fuel pump change, so I have more doubts than achievements, can anyone tell me what it is and what is its purpose?

lol, yup newbie :-) that's cool, you gotta start somewhere.
i think i mentioned it before, but buy a Technica lService Manual, aka TSM, it will be a Hallalujia! moment. and enjoy the (seriously) beauty of a well thought out book with excellent photos and information. very Old World. Browsing a TSM in one evening will reveal a lot. and probably mystify a lot too, if it's all new, but you'll eventually find everythingf you want in there. here's one, $54, believe me, a bargain. you wont know til you get one. |

I'm with Tom == get a TSM. You might also find a text book for auto mechanics handy. I have several on my bookshelf, all vintage. Even have a 1935 edition! But I also have a couple from the 70s, and I think one from the early 80s. Good reading for general mechanics. The TSMs are the factory repair manuals. They assume you know basic mechanics, which you obviously don't. But you will still learn a lot from them, and can ask questions here for what you don't understand. Chilton's manuals that cover many makes aren't very helpful as they expect you to be a mechanic already. If you find a Chiltons or Haynes manual that covers just a single make over a range of years for your car, they are better.
By the way, what car do you have? |

I am thinking even a tech school text book could be handy here. Maybe one from the 70's? I still have mine for certain references but it goes through the basics.

Way back when,
car model kits identified what all the various parts were for you as you put the kit together, that's how I learned what everything was as a kid. It even helped to shut down a less than wonderful step father once... he popped the car hood in front of his "real kids" to show me up in an impromptu game of "what's this I'm pointing at?". He lost when we got to the "Master Cylinder"  Reading and following Lego instructions also taught me more real skill when it came to following Blueprints/Floor plans than I learned in an actual Drafting class.  |

Well I think everyone here had their time to make fun, but the situation is that despite being new to the mechanics of vehicles now that I bought a rebel 1968 I have been doing to get interested in their mechanics to enjoy a moment in my garage , I am 33 years old and I have always had a new car, this is my first classic and as a profession I have a bridal shop (in partnership with my wife who is a designer) so you will imagine the incredible contrast. |

You can read up on cars online. It will tell you the basics of hp w cars work. Pretty much all cars are the same. Get a motors manual. It will cover alot as well, and read it. You can find an older one at car swap meets. Generally for the given year the motors comes out it covers the previous 5 years.

No jeers here. We all had to learn sometime. And after nearly 10 years of being around AMC, I am still learning from those who have spent a lifetime around AMC's. I don't think anyone will ever know everything. And if there is that someone, I'm guessing they are over on a Chevy board. |
