We attached the brake pedal and used it to dial in the front discs. Went to the back and was pleasantly surprised to find fluid in the lines, guess the master cylinder was able to blow out what ever was causing the stoppage. As a result the entire brake system is bleed and the brakes work. She had a vacuum supply problem, if you where driving hard and stomped on the brakes you could feel the vacuum build and slowly apply more and more force to the brakes. To solve this problem we put in a vacuum reservoir that also had the convenience of coming with a built in gauge. She builds up to -16 PSI and brakes nicely although I still cant lock up the front tires if I stand on the brake pedal.
Changed the engine oil, checked the trans oil, and refilled the rear diff to make sure she was ready for a VIP visit. My grandpa came down for a few days and was able to take her for a spin. I haven't seen him smile that much and that long and a very very long time!!!!
Now its onto all the ankle bitter stuff to get her street legal, first thing being the mirrors. My mechanic gave me a spare socket set he didn't need on condition I give it to my oldest. I did as instructed and he used them to help me put the mirrors on. My dad held the mirrors in place so he could tighten the bolts.
Why bring a gun to a knife fight when you can bring a howitzer?
