Default same vacuum source for pcv/lamps/booster?

I have only one useable vacuum source in carb/manifold combination. Can just run one single 3/8" line and tee it for PCV,headligghts and brake booster ?

Sorry I missed that you were asking if you could. I think your stretching it trying to run the pcv and booster off the same port but try it and if you don't have any hard pedal braking problems then you should be OK. The headlights shouldnt be a problem they are on or off and only use vacuum for a second or so.
