this is what i thought. i am wondering how much percentage of boost is actually used.

as i stated above, on a 52 cadillac the master cylinder is the same boosted or unboosted and the pedal pressure with the boost is way too low and too easy to lock up the brakes.

if it is easy to do i want to just try it and see how much different it is.

i have had benzes with power and no power steering and the difference is slight except at low speeds and the feel with manual is much superior.
