Re: vacuum pump for power brakes

I just installed the Leeds pump in my BB truck, I had basically manual brakes, despite the booster due to the cam in my motor, The system works well.

I did T off and kept the vacuum line from the intake, with check values, in case of were to fail, still have vacuum off the intake even if it is low.
mounted it up on the radiator support , it blends in, don’t even see it. Pump is quiet and has a built in pressure switch. Brakes work great now

Thanks for the feed back, I'll go this route , if for some reason it doesnt work out I could always go the hydroboost route
