"scary" is an understatement! I personally had 4 different, professionally rebuilt BTVs fail over several years -- one was complete failure, i.e., not just no power assist, but no brakes, period.

My solution was to replace the BTV with a modern dual master booster. Several others on this website have done exactly the same or adapted another type modern booster to the firewall. See for details on what I did:1956packardpanther.com/Panther/powerbrakes.html

In the 9 years I have had this setup installed, it has been 100% reliable.
