Power disc conversion and vacuum check

I am hoping to do a power disc upgrade to my 68 c10 in the near future. I currently have manual drum. When checking for vacuum for the power upgrade, where is the best place to connect the gauge on a 250? Also, where will the vacuum line attach when the booster is in?
Thanks

Re: Power disc conversion and vacuum check

Look below the carb and you can see where the vacuum line is - then up to the booster fitting

Thanks for the photo that helps a lot. I am assuming if I do not have a port on the manifold, one could be drilled and threaded?

Re: Power disc conversion and vacuum check

You should have a port there.I used the 7 in booster and it seems like I have lots more room.The air cleaner assembly on Luvlegs truck is specifically for the power brake 6 cyl trucks.IIRC he had a bit of a time finding a complete one.

Re: Power disc conversion and vacuum check

Looks new, any hints on where I may be able to find one for another 6 cyl? I found what looked like a good kit for a 9" from one of the vendors on this site.
Thanks all!
