[Healeys] Brake booster won't release

[patrick williams]

My booster is brand new.  The brand is Powertune which looks just like the
Lockheed unit.  Lots of suppliers carry it now. If it's junk are there
alternatives?  I saw on a Lotus list that someone ordered a Lockheed and got
a Powertune (Lockheed doesn't produce boosters anymore?).
