Yep! It's a filter. As far as necessary, who knows? GM does recommend that it be changed every 12,000 miles. I hope this helps

I never got one!!!!
I'm gunna cry now!!!!
So this thing goes on the vacuum line before it gets to the booster?
Why would you need to filter vacuum? On the factory setup, does that line run straight to intake (or carb) vacuum or is it mixed with the line from the PCV valve? (It is on my setup now.)

i don't think you're filtering vacuum...more likely the other way around so if the brake booster diaphram goes south it doesn't get sucked into the engine....

i dont know .i was just reading the back of the package.maybe it works after the motor is shut down ,and prevents gasses going into the booster .it also says to change often .first one for me .
