I replaced almost everything on the bakes from the mc to the rear wheels. Mc, new lines, new rubber lines front and rear, new shoes pads, calipers. But it still took two feet on the pedal a few times. The vacuum booster looks original, holds a vacuum over time (it hisses when i pull of the one way valve) but the pedal feel indicates no real boost. I have an uninstalled metric booster from the P.O., but don't want to trade for the slow leak and figment problem to the mc that Dave lenzi has said can happen if this one is not the problem.
Also, i did not change the valve thing by driver wheel. Seems to me that if fluid flowed to bleed brakes, that valve isn't constricting. Include the info in case i may be wrong
On vehicle booster testing is described on page 5-37 of a service manual. I can send you a page scan, Pm with your email. Can't get the darn thing to copy paste on here.
