I finally got the Master Cylinder bracket from ECI. With a little help from a drill press, it went right on. We had to temporarily remove some of the transmission linkage to get get the pedal on the new pivot point, but it all works well. We also finished plumbing the brakes. A few little leaks, only 1 big one. After a professional re-flare job by 29Sedanman (Tracy Turner), all the leaks we fixed!
Last night we bled the brakes and now have a real good pedal. So, down off the jack stands we go for a test drive...not so fast!
Do to a minor cosmetic issue, the copper fuel line was replaced, but we had not tried to start it since. When we hit the key we had a huge fuel leak. A few re-designs later by the Bubba Engineering Department, (Noodle & Earle), uh its still leaks. So back to the drawing board and we will make a new one. Also it was cranking slow, and the starter would not stay engaged, so off it came. I am taking it to Van's Auto Electric today for a rebuild job. Hopefully, a new fuel line, and a good as new starter, and we will be in business! Stay tuned!
