brakes Brake Booster?

[tedward22]

Hi,

 

I am pretty sure a bolt at the end of this hose is not stock, just not sure what to do about it.  Any ideas?   Thanks.

That would appear to be the hose from intake manifold to brake booster. Perhaps the booster is faulty and the PO blocked the end to prevent a vacuum leak to the manifold.

That definitly looks like the afore mentioned booster vac hose. If your brakes are not working well this could be the reason. If a PO did this it could be that the booster is bad, or like mine was - filled with fluid from a bad MC.

 

There should be a length of this hose from the booster to a check valve, then another length from the check valve to your manifold.

can see in your picture that the fitting that is supposed to be on the booster for this to connect to is missing. also looks like the check valve may be in the other end of the hose you are holding.

with the booster open to atmosphere(dirt, etc) like it is, if it wasn't toast already, it is now. get a new booster, hose and check valve.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the responses.  As MLyte pointed out and see in the picture below.  The brake booster is missing a piece and is open to the world.  Does anyone have a diagram or a picture of how the set up is supposed to work.  As suggested, I need a new booster, hose and check valve.  Which piece is attached to the booster?  Anything else?  Thanks in advance!

Hi Ed,  I believe I've got a couple extra fittings floating around.  There were two versions of std 02 boosters.  Shoot me a PM when you have the time.
