Funny brakes?

I bet this car's brakes felt weird at times. Like sometimes too much boost from the power assist, sometimes not enough. The "J" shaped tube you see here is A) Pinched. B) Supposed to have a reducer in it which acts as a venturi accelerator in the vacuum line. The P.O. did a fine job replacing all the hoses, but did a "newbie" mistake in not replacing the parts that really mattered. For what it's worth, many people twice the P.O.'s age make the same mistake all over these cars. At least he tried. It's far better than a neglected car.
