79 ranchero, bled brakes(all new) and solid pedal, turn car on and brakes go to floor ! booster ? i removed to paint and gasket looked bad so i made one (couldnt find) out of a much thicker material. could it be to thick and banjo not hitting ? thanks for any tips
Can you do a vacuum test on the booster to include the hose and banjo fitting? That will tell you. I didn't think the gasket mattered for the banjo fitting. Seems like the banjo slides into a sealing socket on the booster. Oh yes. Banjo fittings can go bad. The same for the vacuum boosters - mine did on my '75 Ranchero.
its confirmed booster ! where did you get a new one ? so far i see NAPA sends them off to Cordone to be refurbished. thank you very much ! I have another question i think you may know, what is the best weight and rearend grease for a TruTrac, has clutch pack posi when one wheel spins it switches over to other wheel. just heard you should not use synthetic grease on this rearend . thanks for any guidance
i just found a new 11' that will fit from Speedway! much better that waiting 2-3 weeks of having old rebuilt , to my door in 4 days and $180. shipped, so happy !!
I can only tell you my experience .. My brakes have never worked as good as after the booster rebuild.... It took 10 days to get it done and Back... Matter affact I am sends them my other booster for the Doree 72 Squire ranchero..end of the month... Good luck with your Chero ... Andy
UPDATE !! the one above did NOT fit !! so went to NAPA to send to Cordone. JUST KNOW , i found at Carparts having one for cougar, ltd2 !!! BIG 50% off of them know, 3 left, life is good ! Heads up to any that is in need !!!
