Could be, but different than my Arlington built. Mine has 8 ribs (2 sets of 4) instead of 12 (2 sets of 6). I think there was a discussion that there may be at least 2 different versions used.

My Original 68 GTO Vacuum can looks different. My can does not have as many ribs as the can pictured in your original post.

Here's the can that was in my 68 GTO. I'm running a Leeds vacuum pump now.

Two of my very original cars, one and extremely early build, have 8 ribs, 4 each in two sections as described above. Both are original.

Same for my original can. I've never seen either of the two types pictured in this thread.
