I am concidering retro fitting a power front disc set-up on my 56 3100 with a 235 6cyl. Will this motor create enough vacume to operate the wipers and brakes at the same time?
Thanks
Brad

Brake boosters don't require that much vacuum once they are intitially evacuated like right after start up. If the booster leaks, then it would affect the wipers, and the engine idle. There should be enough vacuum to go around if the wiper motor and booster are in good shape,

Thanks Scott, I was reading another thread and thought of this, they were having trouble with the wipers alone.
