Good call on the vac canister I was researching those a bit, but figured I would just wait and see. In retrospect I should have just left them as manual brakes, but converted to discs. Oh well. Live and learn. I was also thinking about the rhoads variable duration lifters to boost the vacuum, but that seems like a lot more work than just a canister.
I read that 14" vac is the minimum (for my 11" booster right stuff kit), but the y work best at 16-18 and up. I guess we'll see. Hopefully have the new brake lines installed, bled, and have this pup back on the rd by the end of this weekend.
