I have just completed an upgrade by adding an original remanufactured brake booster to my 71 Mach 1 which was a manual drum/drum car. I added 4 piston discs on the front back in 2010, which have work well, but still needed the booster. Long story, not going there right now, but yesterday when I finally got to fire up my newly rebuilt (again) motor. The cam is only just slightly better than stock so my vacuum should be around 17"hg (Not checked it yet). What I got was very aggressive brakes and a hard pedal, no slight softness at the start as one expects with a booster.
I don't want to get into a long process here, but is there something I can do to get the right feel? A friend suggest too much vacuum. Of course, I could have a badly reman booster (Cardone).
Anyone got a quick fix???
