I am new to all this and heard the original power booster was the way to go. I am looking at getting a 1987 GN w/these brakes. Is it important to change over to vacuum? My diesel pickup had the hydroboost brakes and I never had a problem.

Joe Jagodzinski · 10-02-2003, 11:33 AM

John, I installed the vacuum setup last Friday. It works great, except for an occaisional, initial slightly hard pedal as I come out of the burnout box. Still MUCH better than the ailing Powermaster.

Red Regal T · 10-05-2003, 05:30 PM

HEY JOE......GLAD EVERYTHING WAS SATISFACTORY. PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU. cheers
