No brakes in the morning. It will definitely wake you up more than coffee.

Happy if I was able to be of assistance .

Will keep our fingers crossed on the A/C & the brakes .

I would have never thought of the check valve being inside the vacuum hose . You are certainly right about the old check valve sticking intermittently . Not sure is that would be sticking open or sticking closed . But either way would not be good .

You are correct , with in excess of 100,000 miles , you are not hurt too bad by replacing the booster & master cylinder .

Happy you got the A/C blowing cool air .

I have used rubbing alcohol to clean off the dye from previous leaks . Then you can come back in a few weeks & examine it with the UV light and yellow glasses . The dye shows up even better if you examine it at night .

I have replaced a couple of A/C compressors that performed OK , but had leaks in the body of the compressor that I did not have the tooling / equipment to repair myself .

Hope you are over the hump with your list of things to repair on that car .

God bless
