<VV> Vacuum brake booster

[Charles Cromwell]

I have been running vacuum assisted brakes for
years.The unit is from a honda,The vac. line runs in
the tunnel, from the vac. cross tube on the engine.
The hook up was simple if you have any mechanical
experiance.I kept the drum brakes so you do not need
to run an equlizer valve.
