Thank you!

Until you do some diagnostics you are only guessing. Open the bleeder screw and see if the caliper releases. If it does then the caliper is working and then you start diagnosing the lines master cylinder and valve. I see you are also in Michigan, where abouts do you live?

Thanks. Engine does not miss while braking or stopped. It's always been hard but getting worse.

I have not replaced the master cylinder. I just changed the calibers and brake hose. Could it be the master cylinder or brake booster or peripheral valve?

That's great information Mccabe, thank you. Discovered it was an aftermarket power brake booster making that odd noise. It works fine except for the noise. I just posted the update on another post titled "has anyone see a brake booster like this?" This forum helped me figure it out. :)

Has been tucked away for years so consider these good cores to have rebuilt. MC # 29861 booster tag #s 344 367 73608...

I believe the ECI kit uses a 1.031/1 1/32" master and if I recall correctly, the increased bore works with the increased piston size of the chevy calipers that are used in the kit to maintain the same braking distances and pressures, so there is at least some thought about these things put into...

Weird never heard that one before but okay then What if I already have a booster on the car. Would I have to get a different pedal assembly?

Vacuum hose rotted away or fallen off in the heater control system, probably under the dash? Bad power brake booster? Cheap vacuum gauge?

awesome that is what i needed to know! Thank you very much man!

Whose 4-whl disc brake kit is on the car? Might there be an issue with "hard linings" rather than boosted pressure? Dual diaphram booster? On the OEM hydroboost pickups I've driven, I was always impressed with the firmness of the pedal (compared to similar vehicles with vac power brakes)...

Thread on the Leeds kit Leed Brakes kit - brake booster Read post #13 especially. Disc Brake vs Drum Brake Pedal

I think so, can you post a pic of it? Can you confirm if your imperial is a disc brake car, otherwise if its power drums I cannot use it. I know there are differences between imperials disc spindles rotors and calipers but the boosters should be the same.

Manual brake car...hence the 1976 Volare MC

This is a well established shop that rebuilds all sorts of boosters, pumps, etc. for the commercial trucking industry. Of course they rebuild stuff for cars and light trucks too. Plating is extra. My booster was black and was peeling from contact with brake fluid. Under the paint was bare...

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to get the power brake booster for my 72 IMP rebuilt I've tried looking on Online Imperial Club (OIC) for Imperial, Chrysler Imperial, and Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Enthusiasts but a lot of the stuff there is so outdated TIA!

I remember a few discussions in the past where we tried to diagnose this system. I don't remember all the details. But - Every component of a braking system must do its job for the brakes to work well. I don't recall if there were problems with the MC/calipers/rotors, or just the booster vs...

Thanks! As I was reading your previous post, I was wondering how the boost could be calculated without knowing hte vacuum input and the brake pedal force input. Looking at the page you linked, I see they used some 'average values' to get there. (which is fine) A person could push 1 foot on a...

I will be grabbing the donor cars brake disc power booster as well. I already have a nice disc drum 4 bolt MC with 1 , 1/8 bore thanks to mobile parts.

The original 64 Chrysler drum power booster with 67 dual 1 inch drum master works very well on my 64 New Yorker with 78 Corboba 11.75-inch disc brakes in all street driving conditions. Haven't tried it yet with a 1.25 master. Pedal modulation is very good and requires little effort to lock the...
