Do you now have a backdraft cobra?
What vacuum are you pulling with is engine?
A low vacuum pulling engine can greatly reduce the effectiveness of power brakes that depend on engine vacuum for full effectiveness.
Good point! The FFR burned two years ago. I'm working on a
Backdraft now. I forgot to change that. In all this time, you're the first one to notice.

I was going to use a reservoir. Cheap, simple. But, there's almost no vacuum at the port. I was afraid that if I needed the brakes a lot, like stop and go driving, I'd run out of vacuum. I ordered a vacuum pump from Master Power Brakes.
