I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have the exact opposite situation.
I too replaced my manual brakes with power brakes.  All new ss lines,
booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, etc.  I hired a professional
mechanic to do the work.

When I press the brake pedal, there is no power assist.  For a hard stop, I
have to use both feet, but I have a manual transmission, so that is not an
option.

Could it be that the booster isn't getting any vacuum from the engine?
Should I put a vacuum gauge on the booster line?  Does Auto Zone et al. sell
vacuum gauges?
