Gents,
I have a 73 half cab that had drums all around. I got the graveyard power brake set up http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-12501-extreme-power-brake-booster-setup-1966-77.html and also installed 77 steering knuckles and disc brake setup. After I installed the entire system and bled it, at the time was building pressure and was feeling fine, I hooked up the booster to the runner on the intake manifold. Once I started the truck I had no pressure what so ever. I mean none. Also while pumping the brake there was fluid leaking from the cap of the master cylinder. So I tried to do the tests that came in the instructions, which were garbage and totally lacking, I removed the hose that runs from the booster to the intake at that time you could build pressure in the pedal. I can not figure out what is causing the pressure to removed by the vacuum in the booster? can any one help with this one. Question 2. The steering linkage from the 73 is not wide enough for the new disc steering knuckles. do you just loosen the sleeve on the linkage and turn out the tie rod end? or would a stock 77 inverted Y linkage be better? or just spend the money on one of the BC bronco heim steering? Thanks for help fellas.
