I'm on the southside of chicago and may be able to help. Does she have a new wheel cylinder? New from Kanter they are Front $35 / Rear $45. Maybe you could find out which one it is and send it to her. If she has a new wheel cylinder, I could install it and bleed them thar brakes. That would be safe at least. As for the starting trouble? What is it or isnt it doing? I have a 53 Pontiac Flathead Straight 8 so they're somewhat the same. Mike P.S. PM me because this thread may disappear before I check back.
I've experience with those wheels cylinders, had a '49 Chrysler a few years back... Anyway, if Goblin falls through, I can do it, again, PM me. Cosmo P.S. Where on the northside?? I work on the northside.
I posted this on our board. I have no experience with that particular setup, but a few of the guys do.
