Classic/Antique Car Repair: carb or intake vacuum, power brakes, intake manifold
QuestionI am wondering what is better, carb vacuum(edelbrock carb) or intake for power brakes.
AnswerIt depends on the carburetor that you have. Some have a large vacuum port, about 1/2 inch, at the back of the carburetor that is below the throttle plates. This will work for the power brakes. But my preference would be a large take off the intake manifold. I do not like to have the power brake take vacuum from the same line that feeds the PCV.
