I can hear a hissing noise coming from under the dash. When I crawled under it seems to be coming from the brake booster. Is there anything I can do to fix it? If it is a "remove and replace" where is the best place to get one?

Thanks

I think for the TPI cars you can get them anywhere. Replacing one is pretty straight forward. Just unbolt and remove and reverse. The hardest part is snaking your body under the driver dash to unhook the brake pedal! My back hurt for about a week.

Yeah it sounds as tho you have blown a diaphram in yer Booster, and yes it is strictly remove and replace. Have fun, good luck, and KEEP THAT BRAKE FLUID OFF YOUR PAINT. Bob
