I have several vacuum lines on my intake manifold and I’m not sure which ones I should be using. The brake booster hose is super easily accessible, and there’s another larger vacuum hose that goes from the plenum of the manifold to one of the runners right next to the head. Wonder if this is what I should be using.

When you say “IM vacuum port is tube 1”, you still have two ends of the hose. Is there a T on that as well or is there two nipples on your tube and you have an inlet and outlet? If no inlet and outlet, I wonder if that’s a possibility. It might smooth the differences in vacuum, like you mentioned, almost like a capacitor stores power temporarily.

How does this affect your braking? Have you noticed any difference? Have you hit the brakes hard?
