      Correct on the Classic Performance. Your point on the original working great is also correct, why would it work great and the other booster not work? Did I mention I purchased a 3rd booster to see if the second wasn't working. Since the result was the same with the 3rd booster it is going back tonight.

      I replaced the booster originally because of the bump in peddle as you apply the brakes. I figured if there was a bump it may have something to do with the lock up.

      The MC did (hopefully) leak a small amount, last night i put cork in between the rubber and the metal cover to take up space and make sure there was a good seal. I wanted to be sure the leak isn't comming from the center bore, and to stop the leak from the bowls.

      I am planning to swap the motor later this summer. I have an LQ9 waiting. I was thinking of swaping the cam before I install it, now I guess I need to think about the vaccum levels if I do the swap.

      So is there an easy answer, do I need to just live with manual brakes for now? Hydro is a nice idea but a $700 booster isn't cheap. If I could get the peddle feel and stopping power from the first booster I would be happy and have an extra $550 to spend on something else.
