Today, I decided to install the one way vacuum check valve for the power brakes. I took two hoses from some different junk yard vehicles and installed the valve in midair. I didn't like the way it looked and decided to install an acura bracket to the firewall. The valve looks a lot better mounted in the bracket. The problem was that the KB laser intake manifold has the vacuum fitting mounted sideways on the first intake runner, down low.

Changed my master brake cylinder (for the first time), didn't have to bleed the entire system, bled the master from F to R fittings (1 at a time), air went out after like 4-5 sets of 20 pumps with the help of my youngest son. I remember rebuilding a rear left wheel cylinder then bleeding just on that same side. Makes sense, air would come out where it entered (nearest point) with strong pressure of course. I saved a lot of time, labor, and brake fluidLast edited by junspeed; 04-22-2012, 10:57 AM.Godspeed...

Well, was putting air in tires and grabbed each tire and shook it and all were tight except for rear passenger tire, had a little wiggle in it. So jacked it up, took cap off and pulled pin and nut was a little loose. I tightened it down about 3/4 turn and wheel tightened right up. Guess I'll have to go drive it now and see if any sounds come from it. I think I'll also plan day to take rear wheels off and grease them.
