Just to note,

The coffee can power brakes was just an experiment. I have not, nor am I planning on driving the car around with that setup.

I only rolled about 10 feet on my driveway playing around testing it. It does give more braking action then when there was no vacuum hooked up.

Could somebody give me more information on what it would take to swap out the brake booster for Manual Brakes, or have an adapter plate? I don't quite get it.
