captden29 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 the power brake booster on my 54 Windsor was bypassed when I go the car. covid 19 has given me the time to remove it and contact a rebuilder., power brake exchange. I am not sure if I really should put it back in or leave the brakes manual. it looks like a very complicated unit and can that old technology be trusted. are there other companies that can rebuild this unit? I have made a lot of calls and most will not do this unit. should I be wary and just forget about having power brakes? thanks, capt den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 That unit works great... If done right. If it fails a huge cloud of white smoke in your rear view mirror means pull over NOW. I have them in two of my cars. Super light touch brakes. I like it. I take some chances..but am aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captden29 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 glad you like yours, dodge. one confusing thing is that the unit has 4 bleeder valves and nothing in my manual about a bleeding process. maybe just do one at a time in any order? or will it come bench bled from the rebuilder. my car has power steering, so power brakes would be a nice addition. capt den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
