ok thanks alot ill go to work tomaro on it see if i can get this solved.

the vacume check valve is the black pastic container imbetween the brake booster and the hardline off the carb? what is the plastic fitting coming out of the brake booster face. it is so delicate if you touch it you can hear vacume pressure leak out.

I was thinking that as well. I would like to replace the booster and master but i was just woundering about narowing it down. the car has always had a low pedal even after replacing the master two years ago. it didnt seem to do any good. If the master is bad why would it hold with the engine off?

not since restoring the brake system. master was replaced two years ago because it was leaking down the booster.

nope no brake light
