stupid vac question
on my motor im not going to run a vac pump but i dont want to change out the booster (call me lazy and cheap) so if i bought an electric vac pump how could i make this work. it would be the only thing that the vac would go to. im sorry if this is a stupid question but hang with me cus its 4am and i have yet to go to sleep.

I am not too sure what you are talking about.... Do you mean you are not going to use a vac resevoir and want to add an electric vac system of some sort? If that is the case do not do it - you are adding weight and complexity to a very simple and effective system. You need a resevoir to have things like wiper door actuation, headlights, and power brakes.
You are causing yourself FAR more wrok that it would take to do it right.

the only thing that will need a vac on this car is the power brakes, i have recessed headlights, all electric wiper motor, mechanical fuel injection and striate pipes
so i will never here it no matter how loud it is. man you got to love antique plates in Texas(no inspection)to be more clear im asking how can i make my power breaks work with an electric pump and none of the original system is there.

Can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Used to work for a company that converted factory cars to electric / battery power and we hooked up electric vac pumps all the time to manage brakes, climate control, etc..
