I need a fitting for edelbrock manifold to hook the power brake booster up and it should have outlets for vacuum operated
accessories. I have searched the web to no avail.Anyone have any ideas?

I don't even know what to call the part I need?? Is it a vacuum tree? It needs to connect the brake booster and have another
part to connect to the vacuum line for heater controls I think vacuum line is 1/8" I'm frustrated!!!

The power brake booster needs its own vacuum connection on the intake manifold. Typically, this is on the #4 cylinder with a 3/8" pipe on the intake manifold, and a 3/8" hose to the vacuum booster.

You don't want to do this off the carb. PCV can run to carb, and other vacuum controls. Brake booster needs its own vacuum source off #4 cylinder runner.
