Victor Jr Intake Brake Booster port?
Hey guys what's up? I am running a Victor Jr intake with a speedemon 750 on top. I can find a place to put the hose for my brake booster. There don't seem to be any ports on the carb for it that I can see. I have found two little one for like vacuum advance or something like that. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Bill

Drill a hole in the side of the plenum and put a fitting in it.

Just get a 1/4" NPT tap, measure down 1" from the area the carb sits on and center it, then use the drill bit the tap calls for and drill through. Run the tap through it and install a 1/4" NPT barbed fitting and your done.
I drilled and tapped a hole in my 2" spacer and install the 1/4" NPT fitting in there and used silicone when I ran it in to help seal it up...those are about your only two options.

Re: Victor Jr Intake Brake Booster port?
Hey when you say 1/4 inch is that the same size as the one for the vacuum advance? Because on the carb there is two vacuum ports that are the size that the vacuum advance would be. What do you think about using that instead of drilling a whole?

Re: Victor Jr Intake Brake Booster port?
It's not a big deal at all to drill and tap it, heck, if you have over $13 in the bits needed to accomplish it, I would be very suprised...I think I seen some NPT taps at Menards a few weeks ago for like $6-7 dollars in the smaller sizes.

Re: Victor Jr Intake Brake Booster port?
Right... you need to drill a hole.
The reason there's not already a hole, is that the Vic Jr is a RACING part; intended for use in applications where there's not likely to be enough vacuum to run power brakes anyway.
It doesn't matter where in the plenum you put the hole, as long as it's into the plenum, and it's ¼" NPT so that a normal power brake hose will fit over it.

hope you know to have the intake off the motor if you're going to drill and tap a hole and to clean out all the shavings.

Re: Victor Jr Intake Brake Booster port?
Hey guys sorry about all the hastle. I found the port for the brake booster on the carb. It is pretty tucked up in there and really hidden from view. Thanks for the all the suggestions though.
