    problem w/ swap/ booster...

    318is became a ALum M52B28 ---- start the car and the brake pedal drops and locks the wheels... turn car off then the car rolls just fine. Removed the booster vac line then the brake pedal doesn't move....(by itself) Curious to know why a booster could allow the pedal to be sucked in...

    Also have the 750 master 25mm if it makes a difference....

    thanks guys...

          Maybe the check valve is installed backwards? Probably not, but it's worth a shot!

              I would remove it and test it to see if it's bad.

                The arrow should point toward the motor.

                  I did that after pulling my engine once.

                  Took a good amount of bleeding after my stupid mistake.

                    I have it in arrow towards engine... And just swapped a good one off another car... still problem. Bad Booster?

                    Maybe adjustment wrong on the push rod... I don't know just suggesting.
