Thanks. I'm converting to hydroboost. I changed the combination valve and it was marginally better. The 86-87 Buick Regal turbos used a powermaster MC setup. The accumulators are not life-long parts and will inevitably lose pressure. Rather than buying a 200.00 accumulator, I'm going to convert over to Matt Sweeting's hydroboost system and use a Wilwood MC with a 1 1/8" bore.

Chris, the part number that everyone says is ideal and works well is an AC Delco 18M974. It has a 1.0" diameter bore, correct side and threads for the brake lines, and a screw on brake fluid cap. Here's a RockAuto link. I just got one for my car but have too busy to install it yet.

Does this bolt directly up with stock brake booster?

The stock mc works just fine, I swapped to a 1” bore Wilwood MC only because I got it dirt cheap new.

Blazer spindle
Blazer hubs ( new)
14 corvette rotors
6 piston c6 z06 calipers
Stops on dime! ( Priceless)!

Wasnt on mine, before the switch to the wilwood. If its low then its probably the Prop valve that needs to be swapped. How ever I did intsall stainless steel brake hoses.
