    Hydrovac Power Brakes

    So I stumbled on this while researching options to make my brakes more powerful after my manual brake conversion. It is a pretty cool system and can ad power brakes to manual cars. A lot of hot rod guys use it. It is old technology but rebuilt units are still available and when taken care of and bled properly it seems to last. The best part is that you can mount it anywhere on or in the car.


    The biggest downside is that I can only find systems that have one input and output. I was thinking I could make the front brakes power and adjust the bias of my masters to engage the rears a little before the fronts making them still do some work. Thoughts?

    I posted this in the v8 swap section then realized it was best here.
