I was thinking about changing to manual brakes due to the current installed cam not having alot of vacuum. What all is needed to make the change to manual brakes? Just a different master cylinder? Thanks

It's got lots of good info. You do need to swap the master cylinder and I'd use one with a small bore to ease pedal pressure. I went with a 15/16 but I would like to try a 7/8.
