Vacuum source for power brakes
Where are you getting it from? Can I use the port on top of the intake?

Re: Vacuum source for power brakes
Its on the back of the intake on the drivers side. If your engine originally had hydroboost then there will be a black plug in it. You need to push the red part in while pulling the black plug out, then replace with the hose nipple for vacuum brakes. You can get the nipple from the dealer for a couple bucks.

Re: Vacuum source for power brakes
What is the port on the top for? Just for my knowledge.
Do you have a part number for the nipple?

Re: Vacuum source for power brakes
I guess that would help huh? I will take a better pic of it tomorrow. It's right in the middle of the intake on top comes out at a 90* angle.
