[DeTomaso] Brake vacuum source

[Robert Stroj]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for all suggestions, I will try first using engine vacuum and if not sufficient will add a vacuum tank with check valve. if all this is not enough will look into adding a pump as a "last option".

Cheers, Robert

        Hi Robert,
        I don't expect that your new engine is so radical that you need a
        vacuum pump. You should have plenty of vacuum for your power
     brakes.
        Incorporating an electric vacuum pump may be adding unnecessary
        complexity to your car.  What carburetor are you using?  Is it a
        Holley?
        Holley Avenger carburetor's have a vacuum port for power brake
     vacuum
        that comes off the base of the carb.  See the attached image I
     just
        copied from the Holley Avenger instruction manual.
        Cheers!
        Garth
