Power brake vacuum reservoir - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I added a power brake booster into my '63 this spring. It all works good but I can't help but think that it could be better.

I am wondering if the cam in my 327 isn't making enough vacuum to properly operate the booster (I think I am pulling less than the recommended 15") and that has led me to think I would like to try a vacuum canister as a reservoir for the times (at idle) my brakes seems hard.

Has anyone else run into this type of situation? If so, what worked for you?
Greg.
