Manifold Vacuum on a 292

I have a 292 (car engine) in my 58 F100. I have added power disc brakes on the front. I am using the vacuum port on the back of the manifold to power both the brake booster and the modulator valve on a C4 trans. The C4 seems to shift ok (still in re-assembly stage). I haven't tested the brakes yet.

Question is: will I have enough vacuum to make the brakes work correctly?

Thanks
Vern

If the vacuum is plumbed correctly the brakes should work correctly. The 292 will make enough to do the job.
