In the context of high performance engines that forum members are likely to be using in a Cobra or other lightweight high performance classic, people I know that had to have vacuum reservoirs and such, ONLY had to do so due to a radical cam that had too much overlap to allow for much manifold vacuum. That was only a concern when vacuum was needed for power brakes, steering, etc.

People that had the sense to do without power brakes & steering needed no vacuum reservoir.

My only "need" for a vacuum signal is because I like to have a vacuum gauge permanently installed.
