I have a factory hydroboost original to the car. My latest condition has a very strange pedal. Ill try to describe best as possible with a listing of what I have done trying to make it better
The brake pedal tends to activate the HB. Normally the pedal is firm, and doesnt move hardly at all. My pedal goes down an inch or more and braking doesnt fully lock until I mash it. Tires let loose at about 2k rpm with a 3k stall converter 0 boost.
My system makes a ton of noise. It whines like crazy. It foams badly. I converted to 87 so I am using a remote reservoir. I have all new lines, on my second pump. I am using lucas power steering oil with conditioner. I am also running an in line filter to the return to reservoir. No leaks at all. I even converted my lines to AN-6 lines. My steering gear is only a year old. I pulled vacuum on the reservoir and it held 15" till I let it loose...i know the system is leak free.
I bled the brakes to hell and back. I bled the master cylinder to make sure no air...there was none. I bled the lines, all of them. I even bled the proportioning valve. I have fluid that comes from all 4 corners at a steady rate no air.
Here is another symptom. Turning the wheel while applying light pressure on the brake pedal you can feel feedback from the steering, almost like the pedal is fighting back the pressure I am applying.
I am thinking the HB is toast.
Thoughts???
