Brake Servo on Pilgrim Sumo

[brianp]

I have just started building up my Sumo. Having checked out the the manual and video (and looked over a couple of examples in the Pilgrim workshop) it has struck me that I have no idea on how to connect up the Sierra brake vacuuum. I am using a Chevvy 350 engine......

Any advice appreciated

thx

Basically, the servo connects (via a non-return valve) to a stub on the inlet manifold. On UK Fords, it's usually run in a hard plastic pipe, shrink-fitted onto its connections.
You may need some sort of adaptor to connect it to the V8 manifold.
On many replicas which don't use a servo, you will see a short piece of hose on this manifold connection, the end of which is blanked off by a bolt or something similar.
