Brake pedal hard to push
Got my 90 conversion. Now I am working through other problems. My brake pedal is hard to push. Before the conversion it worked fine. I have bled the brakes and it was easy for a few pushes then it went hard to push again. Don't know where to start to look.

I might have done this wrong but I connected the brake booster hose to the intake. I saw a hole there and from other pictures I thought that is where it went. I bought a valve that was threaded and screwed it in, then plugged the hose there. Was this done right?

I think it was a check valve. It is threaded on the one end so I could only put it in one way. Should I have tried to find a different valve that was not one way?

Thanks for the advice. The valve I bought was a one way, but the wrong way. I found the one on my 3.0. Once installed I plugged the other tube coming off and hooked up the brake booster. It works now also fixed my high idle problem as well.
