GSL-SE Brake Questions
My GSL-SE doesn't have a bleeder nipple on the master cylinder, the haynes manual shows one on the left side (drivers) for 12A models. Is this normal for a GSL-SE?
Secondly, does anyone know how much vacuum the GSL-SE brake booster requires for normal operation?

On page 151 of the Haynes manual, diagram 17.11a shows the master cylinder and says "The master cylinder has a bleed screw on the left side"
Maybe this is true for SA models with the smaller booster?

Bleeder nipple is on the slave cylinder for the GSL-SE. Top of the transmission bellhousing.

I guess they must of been working on an SA...?
So on to my second question, does anyone know how much vacuum the motor makes for the brakes?
Could someone put a gauge on the line for me?

The whole damn Haynes manual was written fom a series 1 car. Chapter 13 has all the updates fom later models they felt were important enough to include...

I am asking specfic questions for a reason, everything is installed and not leaking, but the brakes aren't working properly, I have ss lines and hawk pads my motor is making 16in of vacuum at idle and mid 20's during revs, I have added a canister with a check valve for reserve vacuum but it still doesn't feel right, the pedal is way too hard to get the brakes working, as if the motor wasn't running.
