Bring it on David! Remember I'm a bona fide tomboy and grew up with off-roading older brothers. Oh, and I rarely abide by the speed limit... ::) Shhh... don't tell the CHP... ;D

ordered me some new front seat belts for the pinto today, now just have to see if the window guys think they can get my side windows out without destroying my seals so i can put in the headliner. I bought this car last nov and thought man i will be done and driving by end of january. Oh my how wrong i was. but with the extra time spent its really turning out good. if any one gets one and wants to jump in and do a restore or v8 swap plan on taking at least 5 times longer and costing 5 times as much. so you wont get discouraged,  ;D

im having some brake problems. i dont think im getting enough pressure to the front discs. the back brakes are doing the majority of the stoping, i have a proportining valve in the front and have tried it in and out no difference feels like i have a good pedal but before i get it all the way in the back brakes are taking over. maybe the valve is junk, bought it used. used a power bleeder on the brakes, purty sure im good thier. dont know yet will get back on it later.

Hey there, the valve goes on the REAR brakes. That will be some of your problem. Also ,make sure your headers arent heating up the brake fluid and boiling it. That will put Air in the system..
 talk later running late.

I am having brake issues and maybe you could help...
I keep poising fluid but I don't see any hoses leaking and
the wheel cylinders don't seem to be leaking,,, the only
slightly most place seems to be under the master, is this
a common issue? At this point I am assuming a cracked
master cylinder, any advise would be great!
Life, liberty, and the persuit of another classic car....
And why not when you can but them for $350 only needing a battery!

If you havnt replaced the brake lines yet. then start at the master cylinder and follow the lines they are bad to rust out and you may have a small leak under the car that will blow out on you. if now leaks in the lines or wheel cylinder then check the master cylinder it could even be leaking back into the car.
