SO ive got my ^67 on the road again after sitting for a few years. Rebiult the edelbrock carb, new freeze plugs, t-stat.
So now, its time to figure out the mc situation.
It had always felt rock hard, and always had to stay back. If i stay hard on the brakes, it willl start to grab, but forget about a emergency stop.
I had a mobile mechanic work on my honda a while ago, and he wanted to check it out. I popped the hood, and he asked if it had disk/drum. No i said its drum/drum manual. He said I have the wrong m/c. He said thats why my brakes dont work right.
So, is it because disc brakes use less pressur to work, and since it was trying to push shoes out, all these years, was I only using the rear drums?
It all sounds right. Looking at pictures online shows m/c's that are drum/drum manual, the res. tops look different. Mine looks like a disc/drum.
This weekend, Im going to get the proper m/c and see what's up.
Ive changed it before years ago, but had just replaced with what the parts store gave me.
Does this all jive with the symptoms?
