    Hi Jim, is your power brake booster a single or a dual? I am sure I will be in the same boat as you since I am running a big hyd. roller cam which only puts out 10" of vacuum. So I will be running a vacuum canister hoping this will solve issue with running Wilwood disc brakes at all 4 corners. With a BBC in a 30 roadster I certainly want to be able to stop it. There is a way to run dual master cylinders that are manual (no vacuum needed) with a slave bar attachment if worse comes to worse.

    It has a dual 7 inch power brake booster. As far as your dual masters, It would be creative to make a set up like that mounted to a fire wall on a Belair. Lets hope that there are a few guys in this forum that have the awnsers.

    Don,
    Thanks for the information, It seems as if I will be looking to purchase a vacum pump, if I do not get any more feed back. maybe I can pick one up from a junk yard. Do you have any idea what newer model vehicles have vacum pumps ?
