Jim,
You only have to plug off the hose that runs back to the manifold. You can
cover/plug the booster fitting to keep dirt out but no need to otherwise.
When mine went out I was 2000 miles from home...someone said to me, well you
should still have brakes just not boosted brakes. So I autocrossed it without
a booster, drove it back home and didn't really fix for another 8-9 months
after that. I just imagined I had that TR4 I'd always wanted and braked a
little harder.

Subject: [TR] How do you test for a faulty vacuum brake assist?
Right now using the brakes causes the idle to drop off. Should I
disconnect
the vacuum hose to the brake unit and plug it both ways and then see if the
idle is affected? If the idle is then OK, I guess that would say that the
brake unit is bad. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim
