C3 Power BRAKE UPGRADE
Thanks Mike!
I am looking at a C3 for sale with ac and pwr steering. The steering is ok either manual or power but I consider the power brake option a necessity for my tastes.
Thanks again,
John

There are a few places that sell complete kits to convert your brakes from manual to power. They include the power booster with attached master cylinder and the brake lines to make the connections. Run a vacuum hose from the intake manifold and you are ready to go. Check out Corvette Central, Ecklers, Mid America and many of the other suppliers.
Good luck,
Dino

Nothing should be tapped into the vacuum line for the booster.
