are there any substitute hose i can use for power brake hose? cant seem to find it by the foot, need quite a bit because vacuum cannister is in frt of rad support. ive been using fuel hose but was told to use brake hose only. thanks

anything that is fuel/trans or braided will work as long as the vacuum does not collapse it

you can put a on off hobbs switch to keep your self from being low but not run all the time . anything you can do to increase the volume of reserve helps !
the new gm trucks run a slick one that bolts to the booster and plugs into the booster .
