There are few more on Texas Rd in Matawan. Nice, friendly folks at H&H, not like at B&B.
So I plugged the vac line and connected that thing and drove the truck today. Brakes are back to normal, but BRAKE light did not come on, so I guess that thing is not worth tinkering with.
Any recommendations on vac gauge? Too many of them available all over.

i was not aware H&H was still open. i thought the insurance yard took over that property.
i havent been down that road in a good 20 years. ever since the old man and Bob the son passed away H&H lost it's "charm"
i have been dealing with Joe at midway since both Bobs died.
i have heard from a few people that Buddy at B&B has turned into a real miserable pr ick. i have no talked to him in around 10 years.

Here we go. I just don't understand why mine is not working. It must be a simple design with diaphragm and a set of contact or switch of some sort behind it. With 0 vac here it should trigger the brake light.
Still would like to hear some recommendations on vac gauge. Not going to do it right away but putting on to do list.

i use a harbor freight gauge. accurate enough for the few times i use it, and if someone "borrows it and forgets to bring it back" it is not a great money loss.

granted, i think i only paid like 7 or 8 bucks for the one i have many many many years ago when i got it.

Just a quick example:
Just research and find one that sends the warning at the desired low vacuum level you want, that is, if they're not all pretty much standard anyway. Just because Ford no longer makes a plug and play one, doesn't mean you can't just wire in your own. I did loads of things like this to my '68 T-bird. All, lower priced and far superior to what was there from 50 years ago anyway. I never concern myself with oem, especially when it can be upgraded.
Find something out of a salvage yard and you can snip the electrical plug to go with it too. Never let a manufacturers assembly line, confine you.
