vacuum reservoir

Since twin Weber manifolds have no Plenum, there is no place to get a steady vacuum signal. The reservoir is usually connected to all four intake runners and acts as a Plenum for vacuum. Connect the brake booster and vacuum gauge to the reservoir.


Larger ones also function as a Vacuum Reserve Canister. So when pulling a long hill you don't run out of vacuum for the brakes. Because vacuum is not made at heavy throttle it stores a little extra as a reserve.


If it's multi carb then you need a vacuum manifold (a tube to each runner connected to single reservoir) . Connect the distributor to the reservoir.


Use a vacuum reservoir about the size of two golf balls
