    Thanks Roger & Pepi. I'm going to order the pump. I want consistant and reliable braking every time. Any thoughts on using the can between the pump & booster? Extra already on hand vacuum? Ya think?
    I will be calling CVR to pick their brain.
    11/7/12, Ordered the pump today from Summit, forget the can!

    I installed my Summit 760152 vacuum pump today, I now have power brakes....consistantly, every time.
    It still doesn't stop like the family sedan, but when you consider the mix of parts that we use in these cars,
    I'm happy and I'll keep tweeking!
    It's weird getting used to the pump running!
    Thanks guys!

    OK! New question. Now that I've installed the vacuum pump and have decent power assist, would there be any advantage to add
    a vacuum storage canister? Would that really do anything? Seems like when you step on the brakes the pump will run either way. Maybe it would give me an extra stab! I don't know.
    What do you think!
    Below is a picture of the pump mounted under the floor. ( picture is upside-down )
    Thanks! Joe
