1956 Buick Special Brake Problems

[mode101]

Hello together,

I have a 1956 Buick Special (40) with a 322 engine. The VIN starts 4C3xxxxxx

BUt the brakebooster is not working and I need a new one. Can anybody tell me where I could get a new or rebuild one?

The number on the brakebooster says 5455096.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

just talked to them, but they can only rebuild the old one, but we think our brake booster is damaged due to rust issues.

does anyone know where to get an already rebuilded one? or is there a rebuild kit for the brake booster, not only for the master cylinder.

thanks

Hi,

thanks for the info, just posted it at aaca.

The point is that there seems to be too much vacuum, when i hit the brake pedal it comes back very slowly... so i think this is a problem with the vacuum...

attached a picture of the rebuild kit instruction where i marked the part which seems to be damaged...

thanks
