Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
Im converting to power brakes and was hoping for a description and pic of where the check valve booster line (vacuum hose) connects to. Im assuming that it connects to the intake manifold. Not sure where or how. Stock V8 350.
Thanks in advance Ryan |

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
I guess you could do it on the intake but on a stock 350 I think it goes on the main vac on the back of the Q-jet.

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
If you engine is all stock, there will be a plug on the back of the carburetor that you remove and install a fitting in it's place.

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
Back, base of the carb is correct. There should be a stronger vacumn signal there as you have pull from all 8 cylinders rather than just 1 or 2 from the intake runners.

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
factory stock on the ones i've worked on has been a vaccume tree located in the manifold dead center a few inches in back of the carb// the pvc has been hooked to the carb port
that's what is shown in the factory assembly manual too

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
One more thing...mine has this filter mounted inline of the hose running from the carb to booster, apparently it is to filter out the gas fumes to prevent them from perishing the rubber inside the booster.

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
That's not a filter, it's a check valve to hold vacuum in the booster when the engine's vacuum signal falls too low for any reason.

Re: Brake Booster vacuum hose Location
The part in your hand, duh. I immediately looked at the end of the hose and said check valve.
Carry on.
