hmmm..

so you've removed the first booster totally?

and you then connected the vac line that originally went to it.. to the remote booster..

and when the lines connected, the brakes get "reverse boosted" (for want of a better term)

hmmm...
first thought that came to mind was that the one way valve in the vac line is connected arse-about, so when you get boost, you are actually pumping up the booster, so it pushes against your foot, rather than helping it....

connect the line, do what you did before (when it didn't work) then take the vac line off and see if it's actually got positive pressure in there?? can you put a boost gauge between the brake booster and the one way valve?? that would rule it out pretty quickly...


as for connections, you might be able to get away with just having the front brakes boosted, and leaving the original rear brake line alone... if they just happen to be sized right (unlikely) then you may have good bias...

actually, i prefer ira11y's way Very Happy
