Thank you everyone for the brake help, (bomb is not charging/discharging)

I will let you know what gives, looks like I will
- check the pump output
- check for obstructions in bomb supply at bomb and pump
- check the entire brake hydraulics

When I called Blau Jim there (very helpful) announced that they have a
cooling kit for the hydraulics system in preparation, due out this summer.
That is supposed to increase the life expectancy of some of the components.

Coincidentally, as of 3 weeks ago I am the involuntary owner of a parts car
86 5ktq as well, some truck plowed it to the side of the street. Anyway, I
got it cheap so it is now a parts car... Question: previous owner used
regular hydraulic fluid instead of mineral oil but only had the car for 6
months and 60 miles. Can I salvage any parts of the system if I flush them?
How evil is the contamination if the system doesn't leak?

Thank you all,

Christoph
