: : heres something to try it was how I got my tii brakes to work. when ihad the system presurized i pumped the brake pedal. also i found that it works better to bleed the brakes with the engine running so that the booster has vacume. hope it helps Drew

: So how do those boosters actually operate anyway? is it sort of like a torque converter?

It is actually a vacum assist. Big diaphram inside with vacum on one side, atmospheric pressure on the other. When you press on the brake pedal, the diaphram helps you out by lessening the amount of pressure you need to apply.
