Junkyard Hydroboost
Finished up installing a junkyard Hydroboost setup off of an Astro van onto my 71 Cutlass. Replaced proportioning valve and all lines.
Having a problem with the pedal not fully returning when engine is running. It returns as expected when engine is off. Has GREAT stopping power and fluid at all 4 bleeders. I can pull up on pedal and it stays.
Any ideas?

Remedied the problem. I had added a small cooler inline on the return side. My thinking was it wouldn’t hurt seeing as how I was gonna be using the pump harder (I thought).
Anyway, I took the cooler out of the system. And voila - pedal returns as normal. Exceptional braking power. Well worth the effort.

I was almost going to go this route and someone talked me out of it. I ended up going 4 disc manual instead and I love it so far.
Did you make your own AN braided lines or did you buy premade rubbed lines (from a Cadillac I believe)?
