I need help guys. I just started trying to drive my centrifigally supercharged big block and I have no pedal. I thought this might be a problem because engine is pretty rowdy. What do I do? Is a vacuum canister enough or something with an electronic assist?
While I've never used one, I've heard that vacuum canisters work wonders and should solve your problem. The other option is to switch to manual brakes. That's an easy fix (and low cost), and some guys actually prefer manual brakes over power brakes. I've had both and don't have a preference..... actually, I might lean towards manual brakes as my preference. You're 3rd option is to just give away the car. I would be glad to help you out with that one. :Brow: :laugh: Do you have any pictures? Supercharged BBB's are pretty rare around here. I'd love to see it. :TU:
So just putting a vacuum cannister on is all I will need. It seems too easy. No electronic devices. Does it just "T" off my manifold to my power brake booster? Here are some pictures. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=86436&page=2&pp=25
Just make sure you have a check valve in there so when you build boost the cannister still holds vacuum. There are electric vacuum pumps available also that would work. Manual brakes would be less weigh! :TU:
