I posted this on another board but still not sure of a positive test for my vacuum canester.
Hi, I purchased a dual master and booster for under my 50F1 pu. Well it is well past any warranty by the time I was at stage of installing the unit. Now I have doubts that it works. The truck has a mustang II with 11 rotors in front and drums in the rear 9". I have the 2 and 10 residual and a proportioning valve for the rear brakes. I do not think the vacuum booster is doing anything. I do have good vacuum and the check valve on the housing seem to be doing its job. I was thinging of hooking the hose to a vacuum pump and with a guage and a valve see if the booster holds a vacuum but not sure if that will tell me anything. The truck accually stops ok but I do not think it is up to its potential and using the vacuum assist.. Any help in a proceedure for checking it out would be great. thanks Ed ke6bnl
The pedal does not change if depressed when engine is started.
Thanks in advance Ed
