  • SSBC has specialized in high-performance brakes since 1976
  • Your SSBC Electric Vacuum Pump Kit is backed by a 1-year warranty

Description

If your vehicle’s been upgraded with disc brakes and a gnarly high-performance motor, it may have a hard time generating enough vacuum to operate the power brake booster. And, less vacuum to the booster can result in poor braking which makes for a wild ride and a potentially dangerous situation.

To operate properly, a power brake booster needs at least 16 inches of vacuum at engine idle. If the vacuum drops below 16 inches, the booster looses power and seriously affects braking performance. With the SSBC Electric Vacuum Pump Kit, your power booster always has enough vacuum to deliver maximum braking power.

The pump mounts inline between your vehicle’s intake manifold and power brake booster. It works on 12 volt power and the kit includes everything you need—pump, switching relay, vacuum line and mounting insulators. Best of all, your SSBC Electric Vacuum Pump Kit is backed by a 1-year warranty.

"Pump works OK after having to build some parts. The vac T fitting & switch threads were totally STRIPPED. Teflon tape was used to try to fix before shipping, didnt work. Tried to get replacement parts, no help. Try another pump first. Quality control SUCKS."

"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"
