Power Brake Vacuum

I have been doing some searching, I am putting a power booster and dual master on my 52 with the original flathead. Will the flathead produce enough vacuum and if so where is the best place to connect, there is a vacuum port on my Offy duall intake. I have heard you can also get it from the fuel pump or install an electric vacuum pump. I think this is common conversion so the answer should be simple, I hope.

Thanks for all the great info

I don't know the answer of the question, I just saw you were from Peterborough. I remember when I was a kid we would drive up to Rice lake to go fishing and we would always visit the lift lock in Peterborough. Brought back some good memories.

I am sure someone will be along soon with some flathead help.

Yes, alot of fishermen from Ohio come up here to Rice lake to go Crappy fishing, probably stayed at fishing camp in Hiawatha. Fishing isn't as good as it used to be, I am on Chemong lake and I gave it up, too much work.
