Call me crazy, but even with a Girling booster on the car, it only has ONE vacuum hose, and it's part of the PCV oil-trap to intake manifold. (Like Brett, I have electronic ignition, so no hoses there, either).

btw: the booster helps, but it does not give you breaks like a 140/240/740/940/etc series. I lucked out and managed to snatch a perfect one on eBay for $30.00, but you might have better luck with another type of booster. I see a variety of similar girlings on eBay from Jaguars, and MGs. Before (and after) I got a booster, I learned to rely on the "downshift" to stop. It gets quite a bit easier with a booster, but mine doesn't really give you a hard stop until you hit it the second time. Then it grabs like a cat on a couch. I don't know why. I've beld the heck out of it. I guess that's just the way it is.
