On the off chance someone is on here looking for parts.  Though they would
be crazy to ship so you'd have to live nearby ;)

Clyde, Before you buy Baer. take a look at www.touring-classics.com. Much 
cheaper for the same basic brake kit.

Re: [Chevelle-list] OT - Master Cylinder Question

2007-04-23 Thread Rick Schaefer

 The disc portion of a master cylinder will move a lot higher  volume of
fluid when you step on the brake.  Compare the size of a wheel cylinder to a
caliper.  The caliper needs  a lot more volume to work properly..
   I don't know what problems you would have with a disc/drum M/C on a
drum/drum vehicle.  But I'd bet that the front wheels would lockup way too
soon..

Hi Everybody,

I have a rebuilt master cylinder and booster, which I was told is for a
disc/drum combination. I have a 1970 GMC truck with non-power MC and drums
all around.

Can I install this MC/booster setup on my truck? If not, can somebody
explain to me what the differences are between a drum/drum MC and a
disc/drum MC?

Thanks!
Larry Shouse

Got the new Energy Suspension mounts installed in about two hours (done
solo).  The old rubber mount (had "ANCHOR KOREA" on it) was ripped in half.
Cheaply made and it only lasted two years.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Help bleeding brakes

2007-04-23 Thread Mark Tibbits
The por. valve has a plunger in it so say when you blow a wheel cyl. or lose 
fluid at a fast rate the por. valve plunger moves and cuts the fluid off 
either to the front or rear so that you will have some brakes to stop.

Thanks, but what do you mean by 'off center"?

What brake lines did you replace? The por. valve might be off centered is 
the brake light on? You might have to have to press. bleed the system.If 
you are bleeding the fronts you might have to bleed the rear first. Some 
times if the por. valve is off center you can drive the car as long as 
you have some brake pedal and then try again. If the brake light is on 
the por, vale is off center.

I replaced the MC and and brake lines, and can't get any fluid to flow 
through the lines.
I did successfully bleed the MC seperately, so I know that part is 
working.


I even , gulp, read the directions.  Open the bleeder open on the brake 
pedal downstroke, close it before brake pedal gets to the bottom.
I can hear and see the air moving a bit in the clear hose from the 
bleeder to the cup .


Any tips on how to get the fluid down the lines?
Thanks,
Mike

[Chevelle-list] old gas pumps

2007-04-23 Thread Melanie Lopez
I just love these old gas pumps. Been wanting one for a while , but they are 
s expensive at the car shows. 


Re: [Chevelle-list] Old gas stations

2007-04-23 Thread Karl Groves
This is awesome.
I'm too young to remember when gas stations looked like this, apart from the
handful I'd encounter on the way to family reunions in Kentucky.

To me, these pictures are another example of why I love old American cars
and motorcycles.  These things scream "America" to me. There's a certain
style and substance about something like a 53 Buick Roadmaster, or an old
Harley or one of these gas stations that is, at least to me, distinctly
American, and it is sad to see that sort of style and substance disappearing
under wrecking balls and auto crushers.
