    Brakes stickin after brake job

    I'm facing a similar issue with Big O Tires, where they replaced my front and rear brake cylinders, shoes, everything, then decided to change the master cylinder, then the front brakes wouldn't let go after you stopped at a stop sign. Now the brake pedal travels about 3/4 of the way down before...

    Press the brake...got my parking lights on ..magic?

    Concord,ca? Not far if so. I had reversed the brake light pigtail in my 68 and it caused the parking light circuit to light up also. I switched it back and all was well. That may or may not be what happened to you. I had the brake issue as well. Are the brakes working very well? You may be...

    Well Crap it needs it all!

    If you can do the brake lines and brakes yourself it's better. I had a fiasco trying to get Big-o to gix mine because the cylinder in one wheel blew up and they were the closest thing I could roll to. $300 and two warranty jobs on their "work" later and it still doesn't brake right. For that...

    Loud Thud Feeling When Braking

    Have you pushed the rod back by hand to see if it goes all the way back the same as when the carb is at WOT? If WOT doesn't push it back all the way, that's what you're trying to make work. You can grab the kickdown by hand and push it back to see where it needs to be. Hopefully the way I'm...

    Loud Thud Feeling When Braking

You'll be able to grab the kickdown and push it manually and you'll be able to see if the rod goes all the way back or not. When you...

    Loud Thud Feeling When Braking

    Hopefully that's the problem, and then it's solved, otherwise, it's an easy adjustment to pull out of the equation and then you can continue to deduct things till you find the problem.

    Loud Thud Feeling When Braking

    There's a bracket on the base of the exhaust manifold near where it attaches to the exhaust pipe. On that is a lever, with a rod that goes up to your 1920, which acts like a bellcrank. Sometimes that short rod comes off if the little split ring clip is gone, or if it fell off. Check that. If...

    Loud Thud Feeling When Braking

    Your kickdown isn't working or misadjusted - Or the attachment rod fell off. Happens to me all the time. You get a nice loud BANG! and a jerk when you slow down to stop in a parking lot, or go to take off. Reattach rod - no more bang.
