RE:Replacing Power Brake Booster

[quote]If you're going to go through the trouble to take it off you might as well replace it with something with a warranty. Since you're no stranger to working on your Vette this is really a pretty simple job.

Brake lines don't have to be removed, basically it's just unbolting the master cylinder as a unit and then crawling under the dash to unbolt the booster. The left side is pretty easy the one on the right is a serious PITA. If you can find a snake extension that will make the job a lot easier. This is a great excuse to have a couple of buddies over to give you a hand...again it's a pretty straightforward job...but that one bolt we took turns on to get it off and on.

I went out and took a real good look at the booster and fixed the problem. My booster check valve has 3 points to connect a vacuum line.
Two are big and one is small at the top. I took the hose that goes to intake and connected it to the center point and covered the other with a plug. The little one is uncovered and sucks in vacuum for assist. I drove it and tested it last night. My breaks work fine and no hard pedal. Do any of you have this same check valve on your cars and is that the right way? It must be because my brakes work great and no vaccuum noise.
