There was a post earlier in this subject about the 1953 Buick power brake unit being discussed in Ralph Nader's book "Unsafe at any speed". The writer (incorrectly) identified it as a Bemdix Treadle Vac yo further emphasize how dangerous they are.

The 1953 Buick was originally equipped with a Kelsey Hayes PB unit which was problematic and there was a factory/dealer program to replace it with a GM manufacture Delco Moraine.

So lets take another nail out of the BTV coffin.

I am again (4th time) offering a free compesator valve to any owner feling that theri's might be defective. I do ask that the old one eventuially be returned so I can evaluate it. To date I have received only one (1) request.
