Unanswered: vacuum leak at brake booster

hello opelers. tried tuning my car but it seems that i have some kind of vacuum leak from the valve that connects to the brake booster. now, mister killingsworth was nice enough to give me the valve while he was passing thru el paso, tx. BUT i'm wondering is there some grommet or some rubber washer / bushing that goes in between the valve and the brake booster? if so, please let me know where i can find one.... mr. collins.....mr. killingsworth? anybody there?

No Mario, we're all hiding from you. IIRC you had an issue with the rubber grommet where the elbow goes into the brake booster. Or it may have been the elbow itself. I remember trying to get one out for you and finally concluded that I was going to break it before getting it out. You can obviously disconnect and plug the vacuum line at the manifold and see if that cures the problem. If it does you can reconnect the each section of the vacuum line and plug the end to try to figure out where it is leaking. If you are using the original vacuum hose as I suspect you are, I'd go ahead and purchase a new one anyway. Holler at me if you want my number is the same or I can call you if you would like. Good luck!

HTH,
Harold

if its the seal that goes with the valve that you twist on to the front of the booster, then yes! let me know where to find it.
