No Need For Expensive Vacuum Pump When Running A Long Duration Camshaft

Right after I installed my 286-H Magnum cam I found my power brakes didn't work in stop-and-go city traffic. But rather than buying an expensive electric vacuum pump I just teed my brake booster into my vacuum reservoir and that gave me power brakes all the time. By teeing my brake booster into my vacuum reservoir it gave me about 10 to 12 brake applications before the vacuum supply became exhausted enough for my wiper door and headlights to pop open. There's more than one way to skin a cat!
