Drove my car yesterday and the brakes feel like shit. I bought an adapter that converted my factory mastercylinder over to manual brakes. I dont have 3 to 400 dollars to convert to a good manual system at this time. I still have the brake booster I took of and was thinking that I could reinstall it and Tee of the line going to my valve cover and run it to my booster for vacumm. Has anyone tried this I think it could work. I would like to know what are you guy's thought's on what I just described.

My Brothers Car We ended up switching over to a Manual System over the Power . The power system was there for one hit of the Brakes then it would be GONE. So we Bought the Manual Master and 100.00 and Prop Valve 100.00

I tried running power brakes off of a morosso pan vac pump. Seemed like a good idea. Worked like SHIT. I'm pretty sure you need to change the pedal ratio when you convert the factory power master cylider to manual. Skinny Kidd makes a conversion. He might be able to help?
