Brake Booster Troubleshooting
I put power brakes in my 69 GMC last summer. When the booster is hooked up there is a noticeable power issue.
I know it could be a vacuum leak in the booster. I was also wondering if the 250 L6 engine has enough vacuum to properly operate the booster. Would the booster size/type vary according to engine size?

Re: Brake Booster Troubleshooting
I used the big port on top of the exhaust manifold.
