    The one man seat belt and stick brake bleed

    I usually put something between the bottom seat and the pedal. Usually some wooden blocks and a short 2 X 4.

    Am I crazy?

    First off.....YES, you are crazy!! Uh, what was the other question??? Oh yea, I've never tried that booster assembly so we'll have to wait for someone else to chime in. They do have a good warranty on those so if you have a problem they will replace it, it does say "Limited Lifetime...

    What's a fair price for....

    2 1/2 years isn't very long for brake fluid. Even the dealer doesn't recommend changing it that often unless there a problem (contamination)?? Treblig

    More troubles with new master cylinder

    If the push rod is putting any pressure on the back of the master cylinder piston your brakes will run hot (stay engaged). I had the same problem until someone suggested that I remove the master cylinder and make sure that there was at least 1/32" between the push rod and the piston. It can be...

    Who sells 1970 duster brake rotors.

    Are you sure that your calipers are correct (they look new??). No rotors will work if the calipers aren't the right ones. Treblig

    Front Brakes Locking On After Car Idles.

    The reason I ask is because if you disconnected the brake lines to get the engine installed and you got any air in the line, just remember that air expands at a much higher rate than fluid. Air won't bleed back into the MC. I also had to bleed and bleed and bleed my front lines to make sure...

    Front Brakes Locking On After Car Idles.

    Yes, it's strange that it happened after the engine swap. But you have to eliminate one thing at a time or you'll never get anywhere. Just make sure to block the back tires so the car doesn't roll while you have the front wheels off the ground. If the brakes still lock up after removing the...

    Front Brakes Locking On After Car Idles.

    I had a similar problem. My front brakes would lock up after driving around for about 20 minutes. I also thought it was heat soak. I even bought a laser temp gauge to check the brake line temperature. The line temps would go up to 180 under the hood but as it turned out it was the push rod...

    about to pull the trigger on a scarebird kit

    That China thing is really the culprit. I bought a brand new Accel distributor for my daughter's car and a brand new Blaster II coil. The distributor lasted about 14 months before the rotor and cap crapped out. The coil died a few weeks later. Used to be a distributor cap and rotor lasted...

    about to pull the trigger on a scarebird kit

    I read a lot of good things about "scarebird" but the one main reason I went with b-body spindles (73 Charger) and stock type rotors and calipers is that I depend on my car for daily driving. I bought of pair of good used LBJ UCAs here on FABO. If the brakes need work my "daily driver" is down...

    I have two different bolt patterns on my Barracuda. I just bought a dual pattern wheel with the correct offset (back space) so I only need to carry one spare. The wheel has two different bolt patterns, one for the front and one for the back (rear end). treblig

    By the way...pretty nice looking car!! I put 73 Charger front spindles on my '69 Barracuda with the LBJ UCA. It would be hard to tell by just looking at them unless you have a good mental picture of all the different types of spindles and calipers. I later swapped out my stock LBJ UCAs for...
