My car has been converted to vacuum brakes over a year ago and it has not been driven since. The initial application of the brakes is hard and then starts to get easier. I am pretty sure that the vacuum booster that I got was defective. I bought a rebuilt vacuum booster minus the master cylinder and it was defective also. Does anyone know if a vacuum booster without a master cylinder attached to it supposed to hold vacuum? I've used my Mity-Vac tester on just the vacuum booster itself minus the MC and it does not hold vacuum so I counted it as defective. I ordered a vacuum booster online from Checkers and when I received it, it too did not hold vacuum and also the one they had at the store. They were Cardone rebuilt vacuum booster. Can all of these be bad or am I not testing the vacuum booster correctly?
