The '63 has needed a master cylinder replacement done, and I've been reluctant to get to it, because I've read the horror of getting a new one. (I just don't have $300 for a replacement!) Well, I've beat around the bush, trying out every other part of the brake system, hoping I could find a problem anywhere else to try fixing first. Of course, no problems arose, so today I finally popped the master cylinder off the car. When I slid it off the brake pedal pushrod, brake fluid literally poured out of the boot, as if the entire cylinder was going to drain from it. So now I finally have to fight that battle. The moral of the story is if you think you know what the problem is, just deal with the problem instead of beating around the bush. Hopefully I'll still find what I need and have her on the road in time for the orphan car show in a little over a week!
I suppose the good news is that I now know that the rest of the brake system should be good for a while
Now onto figuring out how to solve my master cylinder issue without spending $300 in parts!
