Quick Brake Booster Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dmack91 · 02-12-2011, 02:44 PM

I am putting a power brake booster on my truck. I read on a previous thread that tapping into the vacuum fitting on the intake runner can lead to burning a valve/piston if the booster has a leak, so you want to tap into vacuum at the carb base.

The only tap I have on the carb base has the PCV hose going to it.

Would I be OK tapping between the PCV valve and the carb (T fitting), or could it cause problems with the booster?

Thanks for the help.
