Yesterday the mechanic called me. It was because of the vacuum tank. It had a crack, but it only leaked sometimes.

Part 1 Part 2 Here i have two videos with discription in german/englisch As I understand it, when the brake is applied, the pressure should be higher when the engine is running and should not drop to -10. Tank is connected and should compensate for this. In the second video you can see how the...

Does not work, or not good. I have bubbles in the waterglass. Now i found the hose. Someone did a filter on it?! Vacuum Tank is good, since an hour stabil -13inHg. So the only thing is that power booster is still leaking. A little tip with the brake pedal and the vaccum is gone

Hello Ben, Where can i get a vacuum diagramm? I have all manuals but there is no diagramm inside. AACA Forum sides i can not open from germany . Is this in the picture the check valve or is it only a T-Fitting?

Hello, I own a '58 Buick Century with power brakes (Delco). I had problems with missing power brakes all the time. I used silicone brake fluid. In the garage the whole brake system was overhauled and changed to normal brake fluid. New hoses, new brake cylinders. The master brake cylinder and...
