Why not get a manual master along with that ABS delete block?

thats on the list..i already got a proportiong valve and to do my abs delete is only going to run me 15$ in fittings from advance.

i know i had no hoses from the booster to the motor and dont remember having anything hooked to it..im just looking for a clear answer before i do a cam swap down the road.

If you move that you will still have manual push threw brakes but your stopping capability will be way down.

In addition to just building pressure with the master you will first have to push through a bunch of dead travel and then the resistance of the springs inside the booster.

why would you want to do this without just getting a manual master cylinder - it makes zero sense to me.

If your trapping some serious speeds I'd say your asking for trouble.
I'd just get the master somehow if you are ditching the booster.
