Converting to power brakes?

Re: Converting to power brakes?
I like manual brakes Ive got the same setup you do, makes it nice and easy to run a huge vacuum robbing camshaft.
 You will need the rod that attaches the brake pedal along with a proportining valve for power brakes. You can use the manual brake valve but it may cause a touchy pedal. Also you will need a brake line filter but you probably knew that. It's really a simple job that shouldent take more then a hour to do.

It's a booster air filter. It keep crap form entering the booster/ peices of the blader for entering the intake in case of a booster failure.
