Theory I'm testing currently is a vacume loss throught
the power brake booster--a possibility first suggested
by club members. As I've said, it would make sense, as
I pulled the booster while the engine was out in order
to paint the engine compartment.

My question is...if I want to test the running of the
engine without the booster in the system, can't I just
close off the vacume line into the booster with my
thumb? Wouldn't that effectively seal the system, and
then if a vacume loss in the booster was the problem,
the engine should begin to run properly?

As always, thanks for the help,
Jonathan

Yes you're on the right track for eliminating a brake booster leak as the 
source of your trouble. It would take a fairly significant leak to cause a 
problem except at idle.
Good Luck

P.S. Anyone out there know of a source for rebuild parts for the '60 brake 
booster, leather and rubber parts primarily?
