Vaccum cans hook up
I just put a new 502 in my nova and with the new valve covers there is only aboue 1/4 clearance to the power brake booster. I have ordered a new brake booster (7") that will give me the needed clearance. I have a large cam in the motor and know that I will need to add the vaccum cans I use to use on another hot rod. I do not remember how to set them up (it has been several years) and need advice on hooking them up. I think you run the vaccum hose from the intake to the can or cans and then to the booster, is this correct?

That will work. Main thing is to have the booster and accumulator hooked together. Be sure to add a check valve between the intake manifold and brake system. Also, did you consider a hydraulic booster (on Caddys and other?)? They take up very little space, run off hydraulic pressure from a power steering pump.
