Guest Phils72 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I knew going into this build that I would have little to no top end vaccum, but just could'nt help myself. Any ideas on more vaccum for brake booster? phil Quote
Guest Phils72 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Need help down loading pics too. What size and dpi do you use? Quote
Rob Peters Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Phil, Vacuum problems suck ....Sorry I can't help you but I couldn't resist a little play on words joke. I am sure someone will be able to assist you. Just a question though, don't some of the cars have a small vacuum reserve canister... Not really sure that is what it is called but I thought there was something like that over near the air conditioning box on the firewall. Rob Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I take it you have a big cam they make a hydraulic brake booster kit that runs off your power steering pump (I'll look for a link later) an electric vacuum pump is another option...I'm using one from a 80's "X" body, along with a vacuum can for a reservoir at wideopen throttle at the big end, you shouldn't have vacuum what's your vacuum at idle?

Guest Phils72 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I,m still in the braking in stages, so haven't check vaccum yet. I have just enough to stop. LoL. Quote

Sam (Bones) Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 with that duration on your cam...you do need some help electric vacuum pump and reservoir hydo-boost kit you could try just a reservoir first to see if that helps Quote
Guest ADGTRUNKLID Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Below you can see my vacuum can off to the lower right; although the electric pump would be the best route. Can by compcams Quote
Guest Phils72 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks guys for all your help. I think I can get a can at Doug Herberts. Your Montes look great. Talk to you soon. Quote
Mike 57 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I use the hydro boost system the brakes are great and it is a smaller package than a vacuum booster. Quote
