Could you please tell me where this round vacumn tank hooks up to?

that is located under my hood just behind my head lite on the driver`s side.

I understand it is something to do with my braking system when I put my brakes on; that my brakes does not take all the vacumn from my engine when I apply my brakes.

well it doesnt have anything to do with the brakes, only the heater. there should be a vacuum hose that comes off the rear of the intake manifold that plugs into this canister. look real carefully, it must be hanging there somewhere.

I don't think you got a vacuum storage tank for the brakes-you must be talking about the charcoal canister which is a part of the evaporative system and has nothing to with the brakes.
