Its been a trying few days. Last night, finished the rebuilt engine, took it out fer a spin. not withing five minutes the cops had me pulled over with a ticket for stunting. bummer. my fault though. so anyway, engine wasnt running right. carb was way out of adjustment. fixed that. water pump bearings have finally packed it in. get to go buy a new one tommorow. alternator stopped charging, dead as a doorknob. fuel pump has developed a leak.all parts that can be found no problem. crusing round tonite, and some idiot in a ricer runs a red light. smash the brakes, stop fine, let out a few bad words at the idiot, and try to drive away. front right brake seems to stuck almost all the way on.damn. so, i get a tow truck,, get it to the shop i work at. take off wheels, caliper seems to be seized sorta. bleed off pressure, wiggle caliper back and forth, working the brake pads. get everything working good!! go out fer a drive later tonite, and just get on the brakes a little at a stop sign, and they seize up a little. do the reverse forward reverse forward thing, get it loose(i thought) and start the 2 mile drive home. on the way, things start a stinking. front passenger side brake is still stuck on. parked it. gonna order a new caliper,rotor and pads tommorow morning. im just so frustrated.argghhhhhhhhhh. yuck. more $$$ spent. i think its a problem with the caliper, and not the master cylinder, but i could be wrong. could someone help me out please??? sorry for the long post, just really frustrated. thanx
