Vette(s): 77 L48 Original paint True dual stainless exhaust Edelbrock intake manifold and Thunder series carb Distributor has an pern upgrade

Listen guys Jim, Sarge, Dave got me running again and able to run the Dragon.  It's just that it's a 77.  Gotta keep pampering them to make them feel loved.

I ordered the booster from Mid-America.  When it comes in and I fix it I'll let you know the results.

Man, I hope I never have to change a booster on a vette again. I still don't know how anybody does it layin on thier back? I have just about ever socket, extension, wobble extension, universal sockets and universal joints that Snap On, Mac and Matco make and it still was a pain in the butt. I can't wrap my self around the mushy thing tho, but it sounds like a bad booster.

When i was in the marines I knew a guy who had a small truck of the s10/ranger variety and he had no brakes, only the gears and the ignition key

he said "brakes, who needs brakes when youve got a clutch"

he was nuts !!

Y'all, I thank it were Jim's wet shoes.... he could'nt tell if'n hit were a mooshy pedal or if'n hit were them shoes when he were a pressin down...
All bets aside I'm a bettin on the diaphram. No matter how ya look at it when them thangs rupture she's trouble. At that point hit don't much matter how many nuts ya got hangin. (a little PF humour type talk)
