Hello all,

Does anyone know the part number for the brake booster that allows 2 vacuum sources?

Thanks,
Tom

You might consider contacting Dave Lenzi. He sells the "sensitized" brake booster that allows for two vacuum sources, along with vacuum pumps. He will take your old booster as a core. If you get a new master cylinder, you will need to have the push rod machined to fit the master cylinder correctly. Dave does all of this, for a reasonable price. I believe he is a member of this forum.

Tom,

You could also buy just the part that Dave calls a vacuum manifold. I don't know if he sells them alone and not part of a kit. I know that his price for them is too low. I know this because I carefully costed them out when he told me. Then I tried to make one just to be sure. Did you happen to notice I'm not selling them??

Thank you Ken and Matt,

I will find out what master cylinder came with the 6 wheel disc brake system I got from Applied and then call Dave. I appreciate your guys input! Big help.

Take care,
Tom
