Early Brake Booster and Master Cylinder
« on: November 16, 2013, 11:24:19 »
Hello,

Thanks to this forum I found out that the car I have has the wrong brake booster installed.  Because the brakes stayed engaged while the engine is running a previous post indicated that it was the wrong part. If I shut then engine down the brake pedal rises back up and seems to work properly.  I verified this by disconnecting the vacuum line and went for a ride with manual brakes which worked fine. I still have the early 1 master cylinder which is now not available. So, If I install a new style master cylinder will this solve my problem?  The master cylinder is less expensive than a booster. Has anyone had experience with this?  Thanks in Advance

Mitch
