As most of you know, I'm building a 4 valve motor since I keep going through these 2 valves. Well while it's torn apart.. I'm thinking about switching to a flaming river rack and probably strange manual brake booster, the only problem is I'm still daily driving this car. Anybody running something like this on a daily driver?

I don't think the manual steering would be all that bad unless you have huge tires on the front and you spend a lot of time trying to manuever through parking lots. Fromt he experiences I have read on line I don't think I would want to drive one converted to manual brakes every day. Thats a problem though because the brakes and steering all ties together.

If you have them manually converted then it should be just fine.I never had a problem driving my old truck with manual brakes.Manual steering is a little bit harder when tryin to park,but other than that I dont see a problem with switching over.Ill be switching mine over to manual steering here soon,im just keepin the booster in for the brakes cause I dont feel like swappin it over yet,or else I would.
I say do it,les bullshit to break or worry about.

Power brakes work,thats stayin,and A/C is stayin,but my power rack is leakin at one of the line fittings at the rack and i dont feel like messin with it anymore.Ill be down as soon as my other stuff shows up (I hope tomorrow) and take that manual rack kit off your hands.
