Installed vacuum reservoir
I installed a vacuum reservoir today because my cam is so big that I have almost no vacuum to run the power brakes. I mounted it behind the headlights on the drivers side. Didn't know if anyone would be interested in seeing it. Its a little hard to see because of the sunlight. I have it mounted to a home made bracket that is 10 3/4" tall and 6 1/2" wide. I bent the top and bottom to make 1/2" lips to drill holes for mounting and painted it black. Works good. Gives me a little more vacuum than before. Only time it won't work well is if I press the brakes and then press them again too soon and don't give the canister enough time to refill. Otherwise, I like it.

That's where my resevoir is mounted as well. I only saw a little improvement with mine. I think I'm going to have to spend the money and get a vaccum pump.
Then I can get an even bigger cam...
