After rebuilding all cylinders and all new steel and rubber lines I have good brakes without the hydro-vac, adjust the shoes so they scuff the drums just a little with the rig off the ground. The hydro-vac on mine is leaking internally and was drinking brake fluid, I haven't taken the time to remove it but will probably replace it with a re-man from NAPA. I don't have to pump the peddle at all, it's firm, high and without surprises.
