Thanks for the input. I took the line from the master cylinder loose at the input to the combination valve and the master cylinder still gets hard...
The chamber that was dry was the rear brakes and they are working fine. That said, I have taken a front wheel off and had someone apply the...
The car was built in 2011, I bought it 6-8 years ago. Nothing done to the brakes since I had it except for bleeding them since all this started....

[IMG] Long story, please bear with me. Disc/drum Power brakes on my '55 Victoria. I was returning from a drive and my brake pedal started going...
It looks to be a solid, straight body with good chrome. That goes a long way when looking for a project.
I don't remember, it has been a long time, but it is deep. The front spacing is a little more than a stock wheel IIRC
I have 255/60x15 tires on 8" rims on the rear of my '55. I have an 8" rear, but it measures out like a stock unit. The wheels are centered...
A 12v 3 ohm coil should be OK. I am running a 3 ohm blue Bosch coil on my y-block and it runs fine with no external resistor. I've not had a...
Thanks for the nice pictures of the beautifully done vehicles!
Follow the #1 spark plug wire from the plug back to the ignitor cap. Mark the ignitor body below the spot on the cap where #1 plug wire is. Remove...
Nosford sparked my memory, Ford used the King-Sealey gauge system that wasn't resistance based. I did check my sending unit readings. Using a...

The specification page on the Pertronix site lists "coil capacity" as 3 for the Ignitor and 0.6 for the Ignitor II.
I have Dennis Carpenter grill and park lights in my '55. They were put in my the previous owner about 8-10 years ago. They are very bright with no...
I have 255/65 x 15 tires on 8" rims on the rear of my '55. I jack both sides of the frame and let the axle hang down. No problem getting them on/off.
Where aer you?

Thanks, but I was "assuming" ( I know) it is a pressure switch and was concerned that maybe I have a brake problem and putting pressure on the...
This plastic proportioning valve switch is leaking. I can replace it, no problem. I understand it is a warning switch for the dual braking system....
Prayer lifted for the doctors, nurses, and you that this will go well and for a fast recovery.
Prayed for clear heads and steady hands of the doctors and nurses, and God's peace and recovery for you.
I have an aftermarket gauge and sender in my '38. It fluctuated with a cheap sender. I replaced the sending unit with an Auto Meter sender with...
I remember rear-engined hot rods built from the Tornado drivetrain
