If you buy or make a vacuum reservoir make sure it has a
check valve between the vacuum source and the can. Otherwise
the vacuum still goes away when you stomp the loud pedal.

I think you can get a vacuum reservoir from and old Lincoln town car or you
can use your own tomato juice can. (That is what ford used) Just braze or
solder a fitting into the can and paint it black and hook it up to a tee in
the line.
