Eliminating the vacuum booster... Thoughts?
My '71 LeMans Sport convertible came with factory power discs in the front, drums in the back. very common....
Now, the engine i have in the car only produces 5-6" of vacuum with the cam in it at idle. My thoughts were to remove the power booster and adjust the new stainless lines and just go with it. I also just picked up a vintage Cam Dynamics vacuum storage can (NOS) that I thought of trying if i keep the power booster. I cant remember the last time I had a classic car with power brakes. Not sure what Im missing, if anything.. On my last car, 1969 GTO with this actual engine. it had factory discs with the standard manual drum master and it worked pretty good for a manual brake car... Not sure if the power master cylinder i have will function as a manual brake set up without the booster. Or... maybe there's a master cylinder with the correct line fitting diameters that also has a correct mounting bolt pattern that may work as well? Im sure someone on here has come across this before. Thoughts? Thanks, Mike
