I'm in the middle of adding power brakes to my bronco and my ? Is where do I connect the vacuum hose at on my motor? I have a tree on the rear of my manifold but they are all a lot smaller than the 3/8 hose. Is it ok to get some kind of adapter?

Replace that tree with one that has a larger hose size. There are many types available. Get one that has just enuff so you don't have to cap any off. I would bet your local auto store would have a few to choose from to get the job done. Here is a quick Google search with images showing many different types.

Better hope you don't have a large cam using that baby. And the carb better be tuned spot on!

I was just kidding about #8, I ain't never seen anything like that before! You could run your brakes, transmission, vac advance, wipers, emissions, and folks in Colorado would still have room to smoke hash!

Here's a pic of the original part on my PB equipped '76. The booster hose connects to the main largest port on top.
