As above mate, throw up an intro about yourself.
I don't think you can have too much vacuum but I could be wrong. I'm running both alternator Vac and TD42T vac from other side of block and its working a treat.
Throw up an intro about yourself in the intro section and hopefully others can help out.

Yeah hi sorry fella's. First time poster an new to this sort of thing. I live in central qld and have been working far to much to enjoy life . Frankly would rather be fishing but with the patrol playing up haven't trusted it at the ramp
So the problem i have is with the peddle sticking on the floor . I have bled the system quite a few times then replaced the slave piston and reservoir and checked the line for leaks . I have just replaced the master cylinder and still getting the same results. The last thing i tried was a cheap vacuum guage on the assist line and it was reading -30psi
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

My issue was looking like a failure in the master cylinder, pedal was sticking to the floor and then was getting notchy, however the real problem was I had installed the new twin pot calipers on the wrong sides, ie they were actually upside down with the bleed nipples on the bottom instead of the top, so there was no way I could bleed them. Once I engaged my brain, and spoke with a real motor mechanic, he was right onto it! I did replace the master cylinder initially, but made no difference, so I think the issue is different to mine.
What I would say though is make sure you follow the manual and get the air out of the master cylinder, and also make sure you bleed the valve on the top of the diff as well. I think the action is bleed thru to the diff top valve, then RL, RR, FL and finally FR caliper, watch the reservoir level also.
