camshaft
hey fellas, new member here. i have an 81 olds cutlass calais which i have owned for 21 yrs. was completely stock when i bought it. has a 74 olds 350, turbo 350 trans and olds posi with 4.10 gears that i have added. my problem is that my cam is pretty aggressive so it does not create enough vacuum to run power brakes. i have tried extra canister and electric vacuum pump but i dont like it. i want to install a cam that will let me run power brakes without all that extra crap. engine has 10.5-1 pistons, edelbrock performer intake, holley dual pump single feed 750 carb, headmen headers, msd 6a ignition box with msd coil. anyone out there run into this problem, if so what cam did ya come up with. i also understand there are other i options out there such as converting to manual brakes or converting to hydraboost, if someone has done either let me know how that worked out. i am just thinking it may be easier to swap cams. i am not driving it because of this brake issue. only put 100 miles in last 6 yrs. any advise u guys can give is greatly appreciated.
thanks
tim
