How much vacuum does your engine make? Smaller diameter boosters have less diaphragm surface area and thus require more vacuum than a standard sized booster to work properly. Most small diameter boosters recommend 16-18" in/Hg minimum.

Look into a hydra boost, they're compact and work a lot better than the small vacuum boosters.

We put one in a 60 Impala with a 502 Ramjet, the brakes work now!

I used one out of a 79 T/A. Takes a little modding but uses the same M/C as my 72 so I never cracked open the brake lines.
