Thx, she takes after her dad grin

The brakes had been one of the 'nits', they worked ok but needed a pump or two when stopping. Bench tested the orig MC and it seemed to check OK. Put it back on, same issue. Bought the Cardone reman booster (54-73501). Although the bolt patterns line up OK (both front and rear), the Cardone oval case opening in the front (pic1) was different than the OE round opening (pic2) and wouldn't work with the OE hub filter (pic3). So decided to take the OE booster apart, clean, and check the diaphragm, etc., then reuse with similar paint treatment as wiper motor barrel. Booster bench test was good, so bought an aftermarket MC. That solved the brake problem. The aftermarket MC is a different style than the OE unit, but we'll leave it for now. At some point the daughter may have someone rebuild the OE MC to regain the stock appearance.
