3. Remove the old master cylinder.
4. Mount the new booster to the four studs on the firewall with the bracket oriented as above.

6. Bench bleed the new master cylinder.
7. Install the new master onto the booster.
8. Connect the vacuum hose from the booster check valve to either the back of the carburetor or to   the intake manifold with the supplied manifold fitting.
9. Connect the hydraulic lines as required. The line to the rear should go to the master cylinder outlet   closest to the booster.
10. If you have disc brakes in the front you should use a dis/drum combination valve to balance the   system (Figure 1).
11. The lines for drum brakes may be run directly with one line to the front and one line to the rear. As above the line closest to the booster should feed the rear drum brakes.
12. Also drum brakes will require the use of a 10 lb residual valve to the front and a 10 lb residual valve to the rear (Figure 2).
13. Bleed the entire braking system before operating. Check the pedal for firmness. If pedal is not firm bleed system again.
