Guys and Gals,
I just bought a 72 chevy brake booster at a show for $50 I also have brackets and both rods for my truck. I notice that Napa wants $124 bucks for the new booster drum, AND SO, I want to test the old one before I invest $124 in this one. Does anyone know a halfway decent way of testing this one before I put it on the truck? OR is installing and trying it out worth $124?

The rods in both sides do move, so I'm just curious about the diaphram and valves inside.

Can I hook it to vaccum? Air compressor or something to check it??

What are your thoughts?
