    9th Annual C body Show...

    Do you patch as things break or do you keep up on the preventative maintenance that any vehicle needs? I don't know you but there are some that buy the cheapest part, that only replace the one part that's causing a problem "right now", with no thought to what might break or what companion parts...

    9th Annual C body Show...

    I'm glad I don't consider myself among them. That said I have a lot better chance at helping myself and getting past a problem with an older car than a newer POS.... Who needs 27 "control modules" or 97 sensors to get where they're going? If your car doesn't have it it can't leave you stranded...

    Brake booster issues

    How? If I'm only changing the booster and using the original master? The booster doesn't have anything to do with the hydraulic side.

    WHAT is the BEST "ball joint separator" to use on the LCA-lower ball joint stud?

    Forget the bernz o matic I don't use those coffee.warmers, other than for sweating copper pipe I use the bigger version with 2 tanks and hoses But if the BFH doesn't pop them loose I just get the conventional old pickle fork and use the BFH plus that... I can't remember the last one that...

    Brake booster issues

    Just picked up the re rebuilt booster from the rebuilder. He's had it done for a week but I made a deal for the used booster mentioned earlier in the post that my kid offered to the rebuilder as a core in "trade" to make the guy "feel better" about his end because nobody seems to know who's...

    Water leak at Back side window

    As title says. Same car I'm fighting with brake booster issues. When it is left out in the rain it leaks at front bottom of rear side window. Kid had the local vintage car glass guy out to reseal and he said because of the rubber strip type seal he couldn't do anything with. Anyone else have...

    Brake booster issues

    Yup it's the booster. No doubt. Had tach and vacuum gauge on engine, pulled check valve with it running, it's good. Swapped in another check valve and it operates exactly the same. I stick a bolt in vacuum line from booster to engine and it slows down and smooths out, idle goes from 1175 with it...

    Brake booster issues

    Would it hurt to put a Bendix one on at least "for now"? That one my kid sold which came off of another 72 fury wagon looked different from this one. I'm thinking that one may have been a Bendix. I'm talking to someone who has one he knows is off a C body but that's all he knows about it, pix...

    Brake booster issues

    No no contamination That spacer between the master and booster I think may have become partly delaminated. I've dealt with contamination in brake systems before. It's definitely got something to do with the booster.

    Brake booster issues

    Last year I rebuilt the calipers on that car, took em apart and glass beaded them, reassembled with new o rings and seals while Nick (my kid/car owner) replaced all the lines front to back with that NiCopp line, everything bled out great then. Not many miles since. All new rubber hoses too.and...
