Brake Booster Question?

Does this sound right for an under floor mounted booster and MC?


GAS ENGINES: Gas is the cause of a large number of booster failures. If the vacuum hose does not have a vacuum check valve in the line, raw gas fumes are drawn into the Hydrovac causing the diaphragm to rupture and fail. It could possibly cause an explosion. The vacuum hose should run from the manifold to the vacuum check valve mounted on the firewall above carburetor, then down to the booster. If no firewall is available, such as on cab-over models, the vacuum hose should be routed so that it goes above the maniford an then down to the booster.

I am pretty sure that my check valve took a dump when my truck backfired. When I replaced the check valve I noticed that the booster was full of gas. NOT GOOD

Dude, I was about throw my 2 cents in - but your insult suggests I move on instead.

Yeah - definitely above MY skill level. I won't speak for the others.

You might want to try a little patience in the future - or not...

 

run a hydro-boost, eliminate the potential problem, and you can have a lumpy cam too.

 

Where would I scrounge that up from
