This only just supplies enough vacuum for the brakes, it's the absolute minimum.
I find it difficult to imagine Halls system supplies enough vacuum from just one cylinder.
I tried that & it was hardly noticable, no brakes at all.
Maybe Halls setup may work with a stock cam?

It takes a -10 hose. I suppose it depends on how much vacuum assist you want? I don't see where 8 1/4" hoses will do it either? I think it is volume rather then pressure itself?

The brakes are on the firm side, yes. Not at all like you would get slamming on those marshmallows that they call breaks in a Lincoln. Ford does need to build cars for your great grandmother and worse?

The Pantera was a "Luxury GT" sold at Lincol-Mercury dealers. I'm surprised that it was only built as a manual transmission and not an automatic as it is?

It isn't a perfect world that we live in now is it?
