What parts do I need to hook up the power booster to my 51 1/2-ton?
There is a plug in the center of the intake manifold which I assume I can use as a take-off point and the booster has a 3/8" hose fitting
What size of fittings do I need to adapt one to the other?
The manifold takes a 3/16 fitting so that would be a tapered fitting I believe - then can either be with hard line (compression fitting I assume) down to an adapter which will still need some hose I guess, or get a 3/16 - 3/8 hose adapter at the manifold and run vac hose all way down?

Never mind - think I have it sussed - manifold fitting is actually 1/8 as it turns out - found a 1/8 to 3/8 barb hose fitting.
