Idle Variation?

I think I have all the vacumn lines correct. I have a good adle, and it runs and sounds good at both an idle and all thru the acceration stages. Tranny shifts at proper speeds depending on amount of acceraltion (load) on the engine.

Fuel mileage seems to be normal depending on how much I have my foot in it...which, by the way....isnt much.

I have noticed that at an idle if I apply the brake, I get an idle variation.

Do I have a vacumn leak? Do i have hoses wrong? Or do I need a vacumn canister for the brake booster due to it drawing off the engine while the brake is applied?

I think I need to hook up the existing canister mounted on the frame for the brake booster??? Any ideas?

Thanks

The booster diaphram may be leaking if it only does it when you apply the brakes.
