Like Shine said, youcan run it off of the carb. I have a Tunnel Ram on a small block also, I run mine from the rear of the back holley.

Hope this helps.....CR

Try it off the carb, if it is not enough vacuum at an idle build a reservoir can or check out Summit racing for an electric vacuum set up.

Like shine says run off the carb But if ya have to much cam lobe then you'll have to run a electric pump that you can get from Vintage Air or go to a wrecking yard and get one off of a diesel car or some trucks had them too.
