6v positive ground Vacuum pump?
1955 F250 6v positive ground system
I have just finished mocking up the install of my vacuum booster on the power brake conversion with front disc brakes. It struck me that I don't think there is a vacuum source I can use for the brakes on the 223 IL6. I haven't found electric wipers.
1. Does that motor have a vacuum source I can use for power brakes?
2. If not I assume I need a vacuum pump and a vacuum reservoir? What are people using for a 6v system?
I have searched pretty extensively and haven't been able to find a clear answer.
Thanks for the help as always!

Wipers are connected through the silencer which is plumbed into the manifold highlighted in yellow.
Vacuum brakes are connected at the manifold by removing the purple plug and having a fitting threaded into the blue highlighted opening.
