Re: Vacuum vs. Hydraulic Brakes

Since the OP is starting with manual brakes I would suggest hydraboost. Easily found in the junk yard (mine was a fresh rebuilt off a Astro van for $35)and easily adapted. I spent perhaps another $100 in hose, AN fittings and adapters.

Finding an OE style booster and bracket will probably set you back at least the same.
