I have driven this car around for more than two years now without the brake booster hooked up... It has been fine for me, I can lock up the brakes whenever I want, I'm very used to it and I'm just crazy like that. I like to think that this car is more of a weekend/track car, but I end up driving it everyday anyway. I've done many things to the car that most people wouldn't do unless they were taking it off the road and using it for racing it only... So going without the booster is no biggie for me. I've been driving it around with an extra 400 or so lbs in it daily(which currently is down to about 100! w00!) for the past 7-8 months, so I know how it's been with the extra weight in it, and when I get all the extra junk out of it, it'll be down to about 2500 lbs with me in it which isn't too bad. And if I get this wagon, I might take more stuff off of it and lower that number even further...

So, I think the bolt patterns for the master cylinder and the booster are different... Ben, I see what you said, and I hope it's that easy. I know that the 122s came at a point without a booster, but the 140s(to my knowledge) always had a brake booster. Are the bolt patterns different? And is there anything else I need to do? For whatever actuates the booster and what not, will that be ok(length wise and how it connects/mates with the booster) with the master cylinder?
