First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have the exact opposite situation. I too replaced my manual brakes with power brakes. All new ss lines, booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve, etc. I hired a professional mechanic to do the work.
When I press the brake pedal, there is no power assist. For a hard stop, I have to use both feet, but I have a manual transmission, so that is not an option. Could it be that the booster isn't getting any vacuum from the engine? Should I put a vacuum gauge on the booster line? Does Auto Zone et al. sell vacuum gauges?
