I6 Vacuum

Post by jbrown414 »

I was wondering if anyone had a picture of where the vacuum line would be hooked up on an inline 6 for a brake booster. Thank you.

Should be the same spot your distributor vacuum line connects. You'll just have to use a 'T' in order to connect both.

Right under the carburetor on the intake manifold, there is a threaded plug. It is on the passenger side above the exhaust manifold. Is this what you are referring to?

correct, it seems to me that should pull enough vacume to do what you need it to do . but you may have to raise your idle up just a hair(like say 200-300hundred rpm,( not thousand :lol: )
it is worth a try. let me know how it works.

I'm running my Booster vac on the 300 right off the manifold vacuum.
