Thank you Barry, this will make it a lot easier to find the leaks.

If you get into replacing the vacuum lines take the opportunity to clean and lubricate the wiper towers and transmission. The last two I did felt like they had sand in them. Many baths in an ultrasonic cleaner with mineral spirits solved that. I used an oil bath in the same cleaner to lube them.

Barry you mentioned the vacuum pump where is it located. The only one I found was in the fuel pump, is there another one? Thanks

It’s an assembly atop the fuel pump.

Thank you I'm waiting for my vac gauge to come in now.

If you have an early car with the threaded connections on the vacuum pump to the hard lines remember to check for leaks at the fittings. The latter pumps have push on fittings for hose connecters to the hard lines.

A question about the vacuum reservoir in the power brake system ...
The vacuum reservoir of my 56 Continental Mk II is rusted and presumably non-functional. I ordered a "replacement" part from Holley, but it's not an exact fit. Could it be modified and installed?
What does this part actually do? Can I eliminate it from the system and get along without one?

Maybe, I'm wrong but I have always thought the threaded fuel pumps were Mark II pumps (because the Mark II used steel lines with threaded connections) and that the pumps with the push on connections were Lincolns (because Lincoln used rubber lines, which don't have threaded connections)!
