"had a friend working on my car and tried everything to get the brakes to work. this was the last option, and sure enough it did the trick .my engine for some reason was not creating enough vacuum for the brake booster. we installed this pump on a 1966 chevelle on the driver side just behind the headlight and ran the hoses backside of the inner fenderwells, not to exposed."

"Poor braking on my Coronet. Panic stops were impossible. After numerous fix attempts I opted for the SSBC Vacuum pump and it broucht my vacuum up from 12 inches to more than I need. It corrected by braking issues. Good product highly recommended."

"After converting my 57 truck over to power and disc/drum brakes, I installed a SSBC vac. pump to top it off. With the big cam and tunnel ram I chose the pump over a vac. cannister. WOW, this thing really works. I searched the web front to back for best price, and Auto Anything beat them all by about 50 bucks. Now I can STOP!!"

"This vacuum pump is great if you have a modified vehicle that needs more vacuum to operate power brakes. I've purchased two within 6 months and might buy a third. The vehicle I first bought for is a supercharged small block chevy with a rowdy cam. Before barely produced enough vacuum to power brakes, now works better than new. Second vehicle was to provide a more powerfull vacuum source to operate multiple systems. The only minor complaint I've had is that when it cycles on to operate it can be noisy but when engine running and mounted in a location that will suppress noise its not bad. Finding a location can also be an issue for some with limited space cause the unit is somewhat heavy and bulky but instructions are very detailed."

"nice product don't know why I received a second switch though looks used and does not seem to work would be nice if the effort in creating a switch plug was put into actually providing a seal Seems allot of effort for little return"

1964 Galaxie with SSBC brakes and Ford 460 engine(low vacuum)

"I can stop without using both feet on the pedal ! One BIG problem with the kit ! Actually, the problem is small, but the effect is BIG. There are two holes on the rubber isolator on the connector at the pressure switch. One is plugged with a round rubberplug and the other is open for the connector. After all connections were done, nothing worked! All kinds of testing (and swearing) showed that the pump worked when directly connected. The problem was the round rubberplug put in the wrong opening in the rubberinsulator/connector by someone either having fun or being under pressure at work. I switced connector and plug-position and now the car stops when I want it to ! Yeehaaa!"
