I installed a brake booster 1970 Camaro, and everything else is new. But ti pulls to the left if I hit the brakes hard, new rotor, calipers, hoses, lines, I mean everything, yes prop valve also, new cylinders and shoes in rear.
Can anyone help? It was manual brakes before, and had disc.

I would look at your calpers,and hoses.Even though they are new you can still get a bad one.Also you might try bleeding the brakes again.Changing the booster should have no effect on the car pulling one way or the other.

replaced clipers on both sides twice, I'll have to replace the hoses again, what a pain. It only happens, after it warms up. Or hit them hard.
Thank you. =}

Did you bleed the booster first? Then bleed the system again... compressed hydraulic fluid simply transfers pressure, air absorbs it.

im an avid camaro lover, now most of the brake lines in the system coming from the master cylinder or even the proportioning valve have a small 3/16 thread but have a 1/4 inch line im pretty sure, anyhow the replacment line that would be 3/16 would have a 3/16 line if you catch what im saying is you could have a smaller line on one end which would take fluid longer to reach the piston in the caliper, i know it sound crazy but it happens, if you have a bigger line on one end and a smaller one on the other guess which one flows faster???? hope im of some help. benz tech by day camaro lover always

Rebleed the brakes. Just open on caliper and let the fluid run(first open the master cylinder cap). Then repeat on the other 3 brakes. You don't need to pump the brakes, let gravity pull the fluid down. Look for a point if no fluid is flowing. Then you fould your air.

pulling to the left normally means the right caliper is not working and the left one is, maybe a bleeding of the brakes, or a bad hose that is pinched, i had a truck that pulled hard and it was the piston was stuck in the caliper,

Hi , just thought I would throw this out there. Is your suspension wore out ? When you press the brakes the toe of your alignment could be changing. Good luck.
