Clean…. because I was always filling it. Leaked at the booster.

It is. I noticed when I put it on that some kind of nut is on the end of the rod; I assume it can be turned.

Hey guys. Last fall I put on a new master cylinder on the 70 Newport. It’d been converted to front disc brakes before I got the car, so I knew about the different sized resovoirs. Things have been fine until my last 2 drives; it’s only when I back into the garage that there’s a dragging problem...

Just last night I bought a passenger side HP manifold from Tony’s Parts; did not know they were prone to cracking.

I shouldn’t have said stronger. The engine responds quicker & really likes to reach rpm faster. At the cost of I don’t know what.

Hello again. Refresher on vacuum advance? My car runs stronger with it disconnected, but I don’t want to hurt anything.

When bench bleeding my new one, I notice that the piston stroke is quite short, like a bit less than an inch; normal?

Oh, yummy.. crow. Yeah, ok. So that oil under the car was caused by leaving the drain pan underneath & it got kicked, I now remember. Getting older comes with some mental lapses at times. Alright, on to bleeding the master, installing & bleeding the system.

Thank you, very much appreciated as always men.

That sounds like what I have, small magnet sticking out at the tip. Scared me the 1st time I used it & saw a shaving on it; because I cross threaded. I’m sure it was metal from the pan.

Or I’ll just unscrew the plug & let some out. About that drain plug, it’s a replacement. AND I think it might be cross threading; maybe the seal isn’t there. Going early before work tomorrow to let it idle & watch.

Hi guys. I overfilled last time I changed the oil by about a quart. Didn’t notice until yesterday that there’s some under the car. It’s off the road while I fix the brakes, but I still start it every week & let it idle/small revs. Is it bad (obviously) to run it with a quart over?

A 70 Hemi Fury GT……Jeez!

So I have to get a new one; no experience with brakes. Is it just a matter of unbolting, unscrewing lines & reversing the process? And where are the bleeding valves on the wheel? Thank you for any advice.

Sighhhh, I like your car a lot. And the console even more……..and the interior……..
