I've got a 73 'Cuda with front disc and rear drum brakes. I'm putting a new motor in it and I'm just realizing the intake I have (Mopar M1, see pic) doesn't have any ports for a vacuum nipple. Does this mean I'll have to drill my own in the intake or is there somewhere else I can connect it to?
Should have a big port on the carb somewhere.

Here's my carb
Check mounting flange under the carb bowls. There should be the port fitting.
You can always add a spacer plate below the carb with as many nipples as you want

Just an observation... The typical motor configuration that would benefit from an open plenum intake such as the M1 will have so much cam overlap that the vacuum will not be sufficient to give consistent power brake booster operation..
If dealing with manual brakes are not in your plans perhaps hydroboost or an electric vacuum pump should be considered. :alan2cents:
I use the port on the carb for PCV valve , & I drill a hole at the back between the ports to supply vacuum for brakes . I would drill for 1/4" pipe thread BTW.
Hydroboost is the other option

At this point, I am probably going to go this route....while I'd like to get an electric vacuum pump, I think it's best to save that money for more of the "unseen" items that I'm sure will pop up with my build.

My manual discs do just fine with minimal complexity.
