I also have verified my T is in the correct location relative to the hoses. I had not read this prior but while I was installing it, it just made sense to flow it out of the rack into the pump and "T" the brakes into the side.
One other item. The m/c that was on the booster from the j/y had the piston in the same depth as the one that was on the Vette. I reused the power brake application m/c that was on the Vette already. So, I am fairly confident I don't have a mismatch of the inner rod of the booster reaching into the m/c.
I will run these tests on Wed.
1. Disconnect the return line and run it into a catch tank to see if there is any change in the pedal. If it does, I will yank the pump and figure out how I can plump a nipple in the housing. Or, I was thinking about putting a second resevior up under the fender to run from the booster to the 2nd resevior, then down to the T. Don't know if that would solve anything or not. The other idea is to put a one way checkvalve in the line. I was thinking an import style PCV valve would work great.
2. Check for air in the system (m/c, lines, calipers) by re-bleeding.
I suppose it is possible that there is air at the proportioning valve since I pulled the lines loose there for the removal and install.
3. I will pull the m/c off the booster and just make sure there is nothing strange between them.
4. Hook it all back up, be patient and try to run it some more and see if it kicks off (air gas bubbles in the new fluid theory).
5. If all else fails, I will replace the booster.
