It runs for a few seconds after I turn off the engine due to a small leak at the booster/brake pedal piston, but not a bother. Brakes work great, good vacuum engine wise. I recommend.
That looks nice and probably a better option than a hydroboost system. I just ordered a vacuum canister from comp cams and see if that works first. I am tempted to go back to a manual system but I fear that my fire wall is butchered under my existing bracket. I will also look into semi metallic pads. I have rear drums. Do they sell semi metallic pads for those also?
