It is the radiator coolant overflow container. Without one, when your engine heats up, the coolant expands and "pukes" some coolant out the overflow tube onto the ground. With a properly designed "puke tank", they contain that overflow, and when the engine cools down and the coolant contracts a bit, the extra coolant will be siphoned back into the engine and radiator.

That is a cute lil' puke tank. Not like the "through the frame rails & dump it in the bucket" units T/F & F/C 's run.

A puke tank is used instead of breather to keep oil from getting everywhere when it burps out the breathers. If you have hot oil get on a valve cover then drip down oon to a header you have a big problem. Although if you had that much oil released form a breather you have a much bigger problem. LOL
Puke tanks are commonly seen on high performane motors with or without Vacume Pumps. Once the vacume is created the oils has to go somewhere(a tank). There is no return line.
Oh and BUMP

As I've gotten older the excitement is just figuring out how to "Gitter Done" is what counts. I thoroughly enjoy your posts with the details of how you figured out the steps to not just get it done,...
