    Vacuum Brake Conversion Issues

    I used the proper pedal for the vacuum brakes. Should the master & booster come from a V8 car rather than the 6?

    Vacuum Brake Conversion Issues

    1st problem: Normal braking at best, no panic stop capability. On my '86 GN I used '86 N/A-6 master cylinder & booster (is this an OK unit to use?). Vacuum from vacuum block. New brake pads/shoes and all wheels bled. 2nd problem: Brake pedal slow to return, 4 - 5 seconds.

    Daily Driver, Bigger Turbo?

    Any advantage (performance) for replacing stock turbo for say a TA-49 on a street driven GN (93 Octane & 15-17 psi)? Does turbo efficiency result in better street performance? With both turbo's running the same boost I would think the performance would be the same, right?

    Has anyone had an ignition switch problem where the "lock" and "start" positions are locked out when gear selector is in "park". It acts as if the gear selector were in drive (can move key from off to on, but not start). Thanks for any insight.
