Hi all,
Now that the high heat is gone from the East Coast, I took my '76B
out for a run yesterday. I noticed several "unpleasant" events
centered around the vehicle's brakes. Could use some info.
1) Brakes required a heavy foot.
2) Heavy whistling from the area of the MC (and more likely, the
Servo Assembly). Had this problem last year but it went away with
all the cruising I did last year.
Whistling is much louder.
3) Also an apparent vacuum leak in the engine...symptom was a
modestly wild change in rpms when I braked.
Now, I don't know if 3 is related to 1 &2. Is it? But 1 & 2 seem to
indicate failure of the brake booster.
So I go to the Moss catalog and the brake booster (item 182-190) is NA.
Is a reasonable guess that a membrane in the brake booster was holed
so the vacuum booster no longer has a vacuum to boost with?
So where do I obtain either a replacement booster or a parts to
repair or .... (all suggestions wanted)?
TIA,
Bill Saidel
