Stock brakes with no vacuum pump.
Need to figure out some temporary brakes for my drag truck. It is a 95 12v. I have deleted vacuum pump and was wondering what’s the best way to make the factory brakes work decent enough to race the last race before season stops. After this season going to full disc setup. I was thinking of going to an electric vacuum pump has anyone done this? Honestly haven’t ever done much with brakes so any help is appreciated!

Put a 96-02 hydroboost unit on there and run it off your PS pump

They'll outperform the vacuum too. Also, please don't go down the track with no sort of brake booster! ;-) One last thing you could do, toss the vacuum brake booster on and put an electric vacuum pump to give it a charge. :Cheer: |
I was thinking an electric vacuum pump would probable be ok, if you had a decent sized reservoir with it.

I'd do some trial and error. Most vacuum brake boosters will allow for two full pumps of the brakes. Go pull the line from the vacuum pump and try. The line will have a check valve in it.

You could swap to a universal master cylinder that is non-boosted. It will have a larger piston and should work well. I'm in the process of 5 lug/rack and pinion conversion on my 94 drag truck. I am running a 98 ps pump so I will have power r+p and power brakes, but I was originally considering a non boosted remote master cylinder when I was planning a mechanical r+p.

Vince also ran mostly stock 2wd stear gearbox no power steering before the swap every time I've seen. Better have some pull to ya, slow driving.
