Low Vacum hard pedal
I have a 86 T/A that i have swapped a 350 into, the cam that i am running is a solid lifter cam that i am unsure of the duraton. all i know is that when it idles it is so low that i dont have enough vacum to the booster making city driving kinda uncomftorble
is there some kind of electric vacum pump i can run ? i realize the cam i am running is not suitable for the street but i dont really have the resouces to change the cam

You can either put in a vacuum pump or get a vacuum reserve cannister from Comp Cams or others. I went with the cannister and it did ok in most instances.

What does that mean when you are talking about your brakes?

What that means is I really only had trouble while staging to race, not any real problem for street driving.
