I just picked up a 72 Dodge dart to play with. Its got a replacement 360 in it and runs like a top. The brake booster vacuum is hooked up to the intake. Is this ok or normal? I kind of understand the theory after reading up on ported vacuum for the distributor. I have only driven it a couple of miles as its not registered yet but the brakes are extremely grabby at slow speeds. I'm wondering is this because they need to be adjusted or am I getting too much vacuum to the booster and slow speeds. thanks

Brake vacuum line hooks right up to the intake. You probably need to clean and/or adjust them. 4 wheel drums?

And the car looks nice too :)
