I'm shooting for the 1st of June. This interior stuff is expensive and I have to kind of hide what I'm spending because my wife thinks whatever I spend on the car she has to match in new clothes and shoes. I should have all my gauges back in a day or two and start putting the dash back together. I'm just gonna throw some covers on the seats for the summer and refurb them this winter. I really missed the meeting in Ardmore and I really hated having to cancel my trip to hot springs. I'm enjoying everyones pic's though.

Joel has to be right. If the leak were anywhere other than the booster, you would have a vacuum leak all the time. The fact that it only leaks when you hit the breaks means all the vacuum in the booster is lost instantly, trying to stall the engine.
My wife buys antiques and garden "stuff". She shows me what she bought, and I pretend to like it. Then I show her my car parts, and she pretends to like them. Works for us!

That sounds familiar, my wife thinks everything I get for the car is so cool and she does'nt have a clue as to what it is.
I'm pulling the Booster tommorow. We'll see how long it takes me and how much skin is left on my knuckles.

I had to forfeit the 66 MGB to the wife when I brought the vette home. I think it was a fair trade except I still have to work on the Bee.
I did my booster this winter, it took a while and going back to it several times before I got the technique down to get to the upper left nut. 7/16 deep socket with a swivel then a short extension if I remember right. Oh and laying upside down, had to remove the clutch interlock switch.
