I was wondering if someone here could tell me the part number, or trade name for the fitting on the manifold to connect the booster hose. I am upgrading the brakes to power. I just don't know where to go, other than the junkyard
Thanks

 

If you look in a Jegs or Summit catalog they usually.have a whole section of fittings with different angles, sizes and threads. You just pick what you want/need. Try a hot rod shop too, they can probably fix you up.

 

Thank you, will look online. And thanks for the help !

 

Most intakes use a vacuum tree that can feed a few other sources needing vacuum.
Like the dizzy double can vac. advance or auto tranny Plus the vac. booster.

But if you don't have all those items that need vac. an just a stick tranny.
I think it's a 3/8 pipe threaded port at the rear of carb that goes into the vac. port of the manifold.
Put a 45* elbow with a nipple for your booster hose 3/8-7/16 hose or what ever size your using coming off the booster with.

I'd hit the junk yards find what you'll need there.

Thanks Orick
It is a manual trans, and when I bought it t here was a bushing in the manifold. Someone had the vacuum line connecting directly o the vacuum advance.
I have two 69 f-250's and one is automatic. I know what the fitting looks like, just didn't know the name. I have it plugged now and the carb tied to the vacuum advance.
Thanks for the help, as always !

 

"Vacuum Manifold Fitting". A local Automotive Parts Store may have a universal one. The thread size and booster hose I.D. is also common to GM vehicles.

 

I found all the parts for my upgrade, should be complete this week.
can't wait, always nice to be able to stop!

 

A reminder new pads or drum brake shoes need to get seated before any towing or hard wheel lockup stopping. City driving may be 500 miles & Hwy may take 1000 miles.

Thanks Orich, good advice. I am working the truck to bring it back to original. However, having brakes is foremost and so the upgrade is necessary for me. I will pull a dump trailer once in awhile.
