[DeTomaso] Brake booster vacuum

Just to pile on here, I'm with Tomas, the brakes should have an unshared 
connection to the manifold.  Though I cannot see it now, my recollection is the 
stock connection is to a hose barb on the manifold, not a tee in the PCV hose.

The why here is that any flow on the same line is going to short-circuit / kill 
off some of the vacuum available, as I see it anyway.

Generally you don't want to connect a high vacuum/low flow application
(brakes) and a high flow/low vacuum application (PCV) to the same port.

Why is that different from using a T?
