No brake pedal pressure...

I got the rex running today hooray!

But i dont have any pedal pressure, the big round bulbous thing about the steering shaft, that has a vacuum nipple on it correct? Mine has nothing going to it....

WTF? Where can i hook up this vac line to the brakes?

Hook up the brake booster vacuum line to a port on the intake manifold.

Mike,
There is a port on the RB manifold at the back just like the stock manifold. You take that steel piece that was attached to the old manifold and put it on the RB one. The piping and hose should be right at the firewall on the passenger side.
