HeyListers:
THIS DISCUSSION NOT FOR PURISTS!!
I am in the process of installing a brake master cylinder and servo unit
(from a '79 MGB) into a '67 MGB GT. The unit was a straight forward
installation, as I am running a Weber DGAV carb, no clearance issues!
Several questions come to mind:
1. Should the vacuum line from the servo tee into the PCV valve line
(there are no other options on this manifold)?
2. Should I connect this new system to the old brake lines, as in still
keeping the one brake line sytem? Or should I go ahead and make the
two separate circuits, as in the late model MGB systems?
3. How do I know for certain that the servo is functional and doesn't
require re-building? What parts wear out in a servo?
4. When bleeding this system, do you need the engine running; does the
servo have to be functional for the system to bleed properly?
5. What difference should I anticipate with the addition of a servo to
my existing system?
Thanks in advance for all the input from list members!
Cheers,
