Re: brake problem
also check the booster, if its not getting enough vacuum it'll act that way.

Re: brake problem
I've had that happen on my 69 Chevy and my Tahoe. On mine, both times it was the master cylinder.

Re: brake problem
if the booster isn't gettin enough vac.. it'll use the reserve vac in that huge booster... and if that runs out, it'll get hard.
Master for 99% sure. |
