Power Brakes
Is there a way to check the booster in my 71 to see if it's working? I don't know if it's me or the truck just seems like I have to push the pedal harder now than before. I know I can disconnect the vacum to it and see but I was wondering if there was another way?

Re: Power Brakes
You can draw a vacuum on the booster with a gauge. If it holds the vacuum, your booster is good. If it doesn't the diaphragm is bad.
