  The booster needs clean-ish straight vacuum from the manifold and I'd 
use a one way check valve as well.. though in actual use, if the 
crankcase is vented to the rear carb I have to admit the booster does

longer hose down towards the ground to atmosphere. Though your OR 
environmentalists won't be happy.. ;-)
