What are symptoms of a malfunctioning booster? Any hints on diagnostic techniques? Disconnect the line to the manifold?
I noticed driving my 1967 BJ8 home over the weekend that it felt like the brakes were being lightly applied during acceleration. The brakes seemed to free up when I lightly tapped the brake. The original booster was sent out and rebuilt about 15 years ago in California while the car was in restoration. It may have been an exchange rather than the original.
I use silicone fluid. The pistons in the calipers are stainless.
If I replace it, is it recommended to switch to a Lockheed version? I don't care about total originality. I just want function. I have an alternator, Pertronix ignition, and 3:54 rear end, so concours is not that important. BTW, I have owned this car for 51 years. Any help would be appreciated.
