 Re: the donk
Do you have the large vacuum hose from the booster to the intake manifold connected? Don't see it there...

 Re: the donk
Tens and Twenties is right. The 'boost' for the brake booster is provided by manifold vacuum from the running engine via a hose and a one way valve.
If there is a hose there, it's well hidden.

I don't remember that the original 1200 manifold had provision for the booster's vacuum fitting, so it might be necessary to find an inlet manifold from a late 120Y as these had boosted brakes and the manifold should have provision for the fitting.

Also a good place to get the check valve from too.

 Re: the donk
if its got the vacuum line connected and the one-way valve is correctly oriented, then its got to be the booster. Looks to me like a 200B unit, but that's just a guess. Go and compare it to some in a wrecking yard.
