Any luck getting more air out of the brakes?

My dad and I figured out that the seal on the master cylinder cap had shrunken and wasn't sealing well. It was causing air to get sucked into the resivoir. My car also was missing the vacuum line that plugs in under the intake manifold. I'm assuming that's the main vacuum feed to the vacuum canister. It seems like the braking is not consistsnt now that the brake booster is getting vacuum.
I'll be getting new tires after I get my wheels back from powder coating.

Do you mean one of the two seals on the master cylinder that the nipples on the bottom of the reservoir fit into? I have seen one new cylinder with a bad pressed seal. The cap on the master cylinder doesn't affect brake performance. You don't need an air tight seal there, just a good enough seal to prevent debris in and fluid out

Hey Jayce,
FWIW, that shouldn't affect the brakes as long as it don't run out of fluid...
The port under the manifold goes to the Purge Control Valve. The "main vacuum" (Purge Line) comes from the Auxiliary Air Pipe (routing should be on the engine cover sticker).

Thanks for the info. My car is missing its vacuum hose routing sticker. Maybe it's just me, but the brakes to feel better after repairing those two things.
Yes, the cap seal, fluid was leaking out of it before.
