RE: IML: 61 pre-race CRISIS!

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't want to encourage anybody to drive with a brake problem....but 
isn't some degree of hissing normal?  I don't know how to describe the 
noise, but in  my 70's era mopars I was told there was a normal noise made 
by the booster.  If not I've been driving it with no problems for an awful 
long time like that.  You have to determine if the noise is usual or a 
vacuum leak.  Good luck.
