Re: No Power Brakes 84' 5kt

Thanks all for the input so far.  The consensus seems to be that I need a 
Brake Pressure Accumulator.  Someone asked if I knew steering and brake
systems are seperate.  I do realize it but things become confusing when the
servo is involved.  I bled the brakes, not because I thought it would fix
the problem but because I thought I might be on my way the dealership.
They have a tendency to want to fix the easy obvious stuff like fluid, pads,
and rotors, (all of which I need) before they get to the stuff that I can't
do. I'm learning how to keep the brake pressure "accumulated" as I drive the
car in this condition.  I didn't learn consiously, I think I just got tired
of the beeping.  This weekend I might try to put the rear pads on.  I noticed
they were just about gone when I was bleeding them last weekend.  Does anyone
have any suggestions about where to purchase the accumulator?  How much I
should expect to pay?  Is "good used" good enough for this part.  I don't
expect to take this car to 300,000 miles so it won't need to last forever.

TIA
