    VRD , thanks for the referral. Russ, after work at shop it worked and slowly got mushy again. Going to look at replacing master cylinder and check booster for internal leaks. Thanks a bunch.

    Power disks brakes, brake pedal goes to floor

    Thanks Russ. The local mechanic we took it to adjusted the rod between booster and pedal and rod between booster and master cylinder. They didn't mention any leaks from the booster, but we will check it out. So I did a post on Classic Cars of Navarre for a referral to a classic auto...

    Power disks brakes, brake pedal goes to floor

    Back again to say we are having the same problem with the brake system (pedal is very mushy). I partially went thru a yellow light with the brake pedal to the floor, going 20 mph. Can't go back to mechanic shop that fixed it. They say they don't know what else to do. So I would like to get a...

    Power disks brakes, brake pedal goes to floor

    Update on brakes. When mechanic went to change out master cylinder he found that the linkage on rods between booster and pedal and from booster to master cylinder needed adjustment. So taking new master cylinder back to oreilys. Good to go to classic car meet and greet this Sat. Beep beep!!

    Power disks brakes, brake pedal goes to floor

    Ya, know what u mean. But I can trust them somewhat. They called us in while it was on lift to show us a motor mount they replaced that was bad and fixed what my husband did, packing of bearings. Our trusted old mechanic referred us to this shop. Only has 3 mechanics plus the owner/mechanic...

    Power disks brakes, brake pedal goes to floor

    Thanks. Thought so. Which do u suggest, rebuild master or buy new one? Does the master have to match the 74 rr disc brake system or can I actually buy a 70 rr master to match year of car? Also how do we stop the braking pulling to right front? It drives down the road straight, so we don't think...

Pedal didnt go all the way to floor before this was done now it does. Calipers, pads and rotors r from a 74 roadrunner. Please...

    Steering Coupling body

    ACME A12. Hello. where did you get that print of Fig. 16? Is it from the 1970 Plymouth Factory Service Manual? I ordered one; am waiting for it to come in the mail.

    70 rr steering column/coupler separated

    thanks. that's what we figured was the answer. should we buy a new coupler kit? when we put coupler body back onto the steering shaft how do we get the coupler to meet with the steering box, since the telescoping steering shaft isn't telescoping very well?
