Teves to Vacumn conversion, anyone done it?
 
THe recent amount of ABS related posts and a possible 90 SSE purchase in my future leads me to ask this question. Has anyone here ever converted the TEVES system to vacumn? Was it easy?

To my knowledge nobody has done it on here, but i know it was done on a Oldsmobile Toronado with the teves system.

The big issue is that the teves system has 3 brake lines with the rear being split at the rear by a proportioning valve unlike the standard vacuum system.

I personally would not remove the teves system, it works just fine when maintained and even if it fails parts are MORE than readily available at junkyards. The system was on just about every full size fwd gm model in the late 80s. Especially Cadillacs.
