Ed,
do you feel a difference at the break pedal when the engine is
off or when it is on ?
When on, the pedale should be much easier to be pushed.
BTW - what is a "vacuum noise" ?
How many miles have you put on the new (?) pads ?
When bleeding new capilers you have to make sure that the
outer side has no more air trapped in it ! Just regular
bleeding won't get it out !
The vacuum line ends on the right side in the engine bay
where it goes to a T-piece and splits up for the vacuum reservoir
and where it connects to the right side of the intake manifold.
