    Dragging brakes

    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...

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

    Master Cylinder Function

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

    Oil Leak

    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?

    Disc Brake Master Cylinder On 70 Newport

    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.

    Hub Cap Choice

    So I’ve always liked the look of raised white letter tires with the poverty caps; what do you guys think about the factory hubcap?

    Understanding Vacuum Advance

    Hi guys. When I bought the Newport years ago it had already had a stroked RB put in. And a little while later I’d noticed that was driving it with the distributor dash pot unplugged. Previous owner had jammed a bit into a vacuum line going to ported side of Edel. carb. Car has always been a...

    Hi guys, does anyone know if these nameplates on the rear bumper (70 Newport) just pop on & off, or are there fasteners behind.

    Exhaust Tips

    Finally got my TTI tips. But with my 2.25 pipes & the 2.5 slip on tips, is there a way to sleeve the difference with the provided clamp?

    Question for you

    Hey guys, where would I look for 2&1/4" exhaust tip turn downs?
  19. Shamu70

    Proud of myself.

    I'd had an exhaust manifold leak for a while and a nut that wouldn't accept a socket. Well sir, I ground down a few sides on a socket which gave enough room to tap it on. I'm 56 & don't enjoy crawling under cars like I used to, but I did it! And I replaced the gasket instead of not using one...
