Power Brakes......Yes or No?
OK, I have installed a Comp Cams "Big Mutha Thumpr" cam in my 64. Since this cam is so big and requires a great deal of vacum, I now figure i have 3 options for my power brakes;
#1- Install a vacum canister (looks bad under the hood) #2- Install a vacum pump (expensive) #3- Loose the power booster (no power) So, if i choose option #3, how disappointed will i be running manual brake setup? BTW........The entire brake system is off an 86 Chevy donor truck. |

Option #4
Hydro boost. I got mine off an Astro van (not installed yet). Runs off power steering pump. No vacuum connection. Here's a thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ht=hydro+boost
