No, we dont have the manual for the car. When we replaced the master cylinder, I am pretty sure it came with a new boot as it was in really good...
It's not fixed, but at least I am now on the right track thanks to this forum. I took the car for a short ride, happy I had the coolant leak...
I soaked everything down with WD40, worked the pedal a few times, and there is a little play in the rod now. So far the lights have not come back on.
Thanks guys. I just crawled under the car and there is no play in anything on the master cylinder/pedal assembly. When I pushed up on the peddle...
We have a '51 Ford Custom, all stock. When we got the car it had sat a long time and we did the normal replacements; water pumps, hoses, belts,...
Thanks Gary. Good to know that about the spring. Yeah, it's gonna be a quick fix for sure. I dont have the money to do any upgrades on it, plus my...
Thanks everyone. At this point, I still can't get the valve to move in the guide. I currently have it soaking in some old, more than likely highly...
The head is off, and those bolts came loose pretty easily actually. I had a couple I couldn't get to with the impact gun and I had to use a...
So this isnt as cool as anything that's already been posted in this thread, and more than likely isnt even period correct, but it is mine, and is...
I dont know. They were "gonna pops" if we tried to run them at all. LOL We put new tires on it before we ever got it running.

Here's a dumb question (I'm full of them) but where's the best place to buy parts? We've been buying everything from Dennis Carpenter. I cant...
Thanks everyone. :)
Thanks man! That sounds a lot easier than getting the pan off the motor in my racecar. The car actually drives real well, and everything seems...
Now another question. Can the pan be removed in the car? With as bad as the lifter valley looked (sludged up) it kind of concerns me what the oil...
Thanks. Yeah, the whole thing is loose. I can reach down there and spin it around, move it up and down, I can see the guide hanging out the bottom...
After further review, the spring is still partially collapsed and I am sure the valve is still stuck in the guide. After I get the head off, how...
Howdy folks, this is my first post other than the "introduce yourself" post, so bear with me. Here's a summary, we have a 1951 Ford Custom with a...
Hey guys, another newbie here that is bound to ask some dumb questions. ;) I guess I should tell a little about what brought me here. First, my...
