 Re: bobs1200 engine
Nice set up. I am looking to install duals in my A15 engine, and probably be forced to get rid of the brake booster. How is that work, just braking with no booster?
Let me know the way the brakes work in a boosterless car.

Usually, not very well. The master cylinder is a different size in a boosterless model, and if the booster stops working it takes a lot of pedal pressure to stop the car. You can test the effect this will have on your B210 (120Y) by temporarily disconnecting and plugging the booster hose with a spark plug or bolt.

The brakes in the 1200 have easy pedal effort due to the light weight of the vehicle. It doesn't need a booster. The B210 is 20% heavier and is about the borderline of where cars got boosters ... back then a lot of cars that were heavier did not have power brakes, so there is no real requirement. With the right size master cylinder it should work fairly well.
