Re: brakes

With vice grip's go from one brake rubber line @ each wheel. Squeeze it off until you have pressure @ the pedal. Now you will have found the brake that is causing you the problem. I did this on a 67 BB Vette and found that the s/s caliper that had been rebuilt had some crap in the fluid port I believe that is what it is called and it was not allowing enough fluid through and as a result sponge pedal. Took the caliper a part inspested and cleaned it, reinstalled & went cruzin.

esll.

This is why I don't like s/s line here as they look good but who want's to do the above to there lines once they are running s/s.

esll.
