    "HELP" Power brakes very touchy

    The car has always had the 340 as it is #'s matching. The new rod that goes through the firewall needed to be adjusted as it was set too long. The pedal, when pushed, has about 2 in of travel before the brakes come on. So in other words the brakes hit hard after the 2 in of travel is taken up...

    "HELP" Power brakes very touchy

    I was having issues with the brakes on my Duster and discovered the rubber bladder inside the booster was split causing it to lose vacuum so I opted for a new booster. The brakes work now but are very touchy. I am hoping someone might be able to tell me about some adjustment I could try. Just to...

    brake booster issues

    Seems my brake booster has quit working as it will no longer hold vacuum. Took it apart and found it has a hole in the rubber. Tried to patch it but did not work out so I am in need of a replacement. I can not find a new replacement that is the same and was hoping someone might have a used one...

    Power Brakes - to keep or not to keep

    My car is also a 4 speed, it has front disc and rear drum brakes. I did not know the little plunger between the M/C and the booster is adjustable. I will do what you suggest and lengthen it, at least it won't cost me any more $, just a little time. I also changed the M/C when I did the build...

    Power Brakes - to keep or not to keep

    rear brake linings and front pads are new. When I say the brake fades I mean they work like a power brake should when you first push the pedal and as the car slows I find myself pushing harder because the booster seems to lose vacuum

    Power Brakes - to keep or not to keep

    If keeping the power brake booster means I will need spend more money on a vacuum pump and there is still the possibility they will not work properly, would it make more sense to just do the manual brake conversion?, from what I am hearing, manual brakes probably work better then what I have now.

    Power Brakes - to keep or not to keep

    Well I have been screwing around with he power brakes on my 72 340 Duster now for about 2 seasons and I am getting tired of "screwing around" with them. I am hoping to get some info from some members that may have had the same issue and what they did to solve the problem on what to do with them...

    power brake booster

    Yes I have a mild cam in it, but even when I am driving it the breaks are poor, I have push hard on the pedal. One the first push of the pedal, I can feel a little bit of assist but it gets hard to push in a few seconds. I checked the valve and it holds pressure, seems ok. Do I just need to add...

    power brake booster

    I want to make sure it is the booster and I think it should hold vacuum after I turn off the engine but when I pulled off the hose coming from the intake, there was no vacuum left in the booster. Hose was pulled off the booster about 10 sec after the engine was turned off. So, does this mean the...

    I think the booster is a little different from 72 to 73. Not sure if the are interchangeable or if I would need to change the bracket. I will post a pic

    Engine speeds up when brake is pushed

    Ok, I guess i will start looking for another booster. I like the power brakes and I can always add a canister for additional vacume. Anyone know if anyone has a good used one or where i can buy new?

    Engine speeds up when brake is pushed

    I tried to reseal the booster by cleaning the rubber using a little urathane on the gaskets, the one under the big clamp on the booster and where the master bolts to the booster. No Difference. Is there a someplace that would rebuild the booster or should I take it off and go a different route?

    Engine speeds up when brake is pushed

    The valves are hydraulic so I can't adjust. I changed the carb to a edelbrock and never touched the floats, not sure when they should be or how to adjust. Would I hook up the vacume gauge to the large hole at the base carb, and how many lbs of vacume should I have, or am I just trying to get it...

    Engine speeds up when brake is pushed

    I am not sure what is going on so thought i would ask all you smart guys on FABO. With power brakes, I thought when you push the brake pedal with the engine running, the engine will drop 1 or 2 hundred RPM's. But when I push the brakes the engine speeds up. Any ideas why?? I should add (just...

    power brake vacuum

    I just put in a different cam into my 340 and it seems to have affected the power brakes. They work but I have to push harder and seems they take longer to build up enough vacuum. Is there any thing I can do to get more vacuum to the brake booster? I thought about adding a vacuum reservoir, but...
