Hi guys I have bought a new alternator I hooked all my vac lines up as per standard on brake and clutch and I am running out of vacuum. I am really puzzled with it all if I disconnect my clutch the brakes work fine but if I reconnect the clutch it's like there is not enough to feed the booster I am really stuck any advice will be really greatfull. I have converted my maverick from petrol to diesel if that helps.

Contact growlers and get him to pick you up a $2 sucky sucky and stick her under the bonnet.
Is your clutch booster gone ? leaking sounds odd maybe the petrol clutch booster requires more vaccumme.

There should be one way valves in the lines, do you have these?

Haha lol if it were only as easy as that! Yeah I put the one way valves in as per an original and I get nothin it has fried my brain
And I don't think my clutch booster is gone I had the One way valves on it couldn't of been leaking out of there I don't think

Did the alt come with a vac pump? If not does it match the existing pump properly
