Question Vacuum Canister Needed?

I am planning on running cruise control, power brakes, and possibly vacuum wipers on my F-3. The engine I am using is running a 3/4 race cam and pulls about 14 inches of vacuum at idle. I had this engine in another vehicle and the vacuum was no problem with cruise control, but I ran electric wipers and manual brakes. I'm thinking a vacuum canister might be a prudent addition what with the extra vacuum using accessories. Anybody else out there running a vacuum canister or would that be necessary only with a full race engine? Any comments or advice welcome...

I would run a small one at least, that way you are sure. 94 Ch**y s-10 has a small one that can even be hidden under the dash, it mounts to the hood on them. I may have one if you want it, just let me know

Jon,

If I need one... and, if I don't already have one out there in the garage somewhere buried under something, you will be my first go to guy to get one. Thanks.
