cuda6, when you robbed the parts off the '84 cutlass, what components did you end up using. can i just simply use the master cylinder and booster?

All you need the master cylinder, vacuum booster, and brake pedal. I ended up getting a master cylinder at napa because a remanufactured one was barely more than what the junkyard wanted.

I also used a TTA style vacuum block for my vacuum source.
