Hi Bernd,
Two for one here, he-he-he.

If you're running an aftermarket cam, a vacuum reservoir works for the
power brakes and other vacuum accessories. If this is a "stock
internals" engine...something else is wrong. :(
I haven't driven it enough to tell if I need a larger resevoir or not. It's
rather difficult since everytime you push in the clutch coming up on a stop,
the engine dies. (Not a cool Dak image either!) :'( I believe this is the
only real problem I have is with the engine stalling at a stop.
The TB is a F&B "special", M1 intake, mildly ported heads, angle cut seats
and valves, Hughes 1828 cam, (valve springs and retainers also Hughes),
Crane pushrods and roller rockers, Mopar PCM and double roller timing set,
and of course headers and a cat-back. Think that pretty much covers the
essentials.

>From what you've described, it sounds like the cam is causing the lower
vacuum. You can reuse the TB gasket but soak it in some water for about
10-15 minutes first (thickens it up again) and then dry it and reinstall
it...upside down.
Cool trick on the gaskets. Never thought about that one. I can't flip it
over though with the M1 intake. It is not symmetrical. :'B
Still open to any and all suggestions.
