    Your suggestion is to switch from ported to manifold on the vacuum advance ? Worth a try . I did just test drive it after double checking my total timing at 38* my brakes are better taking 5 ft to stop instead of 10 ft. I still wouldn't venture onto the Seattle freeway in this condition

    Yeah the cam killed my vacuum so I did add the canister it gave me a huge improvement in pedal feel but sadly it still takes almost 10 ft to stop and i just don't get how my brakes are not functioning, it did take a month to do the swap
