Hi,

I just changed the booster in my 71 GTX.

When I start the car, the brake pedal gets sucked to the floor immediately. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

This is my second booster and it's getting frustrating.

Thanks

reuse old check valve on this booster? ALL the way to the floor or to the end of the pedal reserve(roughly several inches from floor)? what Rocky said, M/C on or off & were the brakes(M/C then wheels) bled out?.

The m/c is on, the brakes were bled and I tried two check valves. It must be the booster. I can't wait to crawl under and swap it out again! Thx for the responses.
