Hard Braking
Hi All,
Experiencing hard braking, no power assist, on start up on my 84. Once the engine gets warm, it's OK. Resealed manifold, replaced MC, booster, brake hoses at the all wheels, and bled brakes.
Any suggestions for tracking this down would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply!
It idles pretty smooth and at around 6-700 rpm. The braking improves aroun 180 degrees. I'm starting to lean towards a vacuum leak around the EGR.
Doesn't the EGR open around normal engine operating temp? Once the engine gets to temp it's Ok. When it's cold it's like trying to stop a car with unasisted drum brakes all around.
