Old PW gots brakes and it stops.
The son came over and he held bolts, I started the snuts, tightened them all down, bled out the brakes. Son left and I went phor about a 30 mile drive.
Old PW runs quite nice.
I bench bleeded it with the old fashioned hose kit.
I plunged the piston just enough to emit bubbles out the piston feed ports. When no more bubbles appeared in the reservoir then plunged slightly deeper, repeat until the piston was near bottom and no air emitted from the bleeder hose or the on...
The instructions says to use the provided solid plastic plugs and screw them into the ports. Use a blunt instrument to depress the piston no more than an inch at a time, repeat until piston will depress no more than 1/8” at a time and no more air bubbles appear in the reservoir.
Install the...
Two different instructions from the same manufacturer, Dorman. 😹😹😹😹
Heading to the vice with my old fashioned plastic bench bleeding fittings and hoses.
I do not see anything special about this new master cylinder that would make it any different than any other master cylinder that I have...
I wanted to put this in the how to forum but it said I didnt have sufficient permission, so, here it is.
This is from Dave, a FB vehicle repair specialist that also does a lot of videos.
His procedures are spot on and never misleading.
Here he has a cast iron block repair specialist that casts...
Lay a piece of printing paper over them.
Scribble across the decals with a pencil, or pencil lead laid sort of flat to get an impression.
Take the truck to a good sign shop and ask what the best options are for salvaging the decals.
1969, those may have been hand painted on to the truck.
A total inspection of the brake system should be in order.
Damaged rotor, pads, drums or shoes could also cause a brake to lock up.
Calipers and cylinders too.
If there is any type of fluid leaking into the brake system, that too can cause the brake on one corner to lock up.
Remove the...
Most times is what will cause wheel lockup is having one or two wheels on a slick surface and the rest of the wheels on a surface with good traction.
The wheels on tje slick surface locks up then the 4WAL system kicks in and the brake pedal starts to pulsate.
Never back off when You feel that in...
But the OP is not asking about AC/Delco.
He is asking about the Carter brand of plumps.
IIRC, the Leroy Diesel harness/relay/pump kit I ordered came with a Carter brand of pump.
It waas working great and on a pull, and loaded, was packing the lowest 9PSI.
I removed the mechanical gauge to avoid...
I bought the Leroy Diesel relay/pump kit. It came with the Carter pump. I dont remember what that pump is rated at for pressure or volume.
Pulling the steepest hill between home and church, and it is steeeeep, the fuel pressure never dropped to less than 9 PSI.
Years ago I had run Carter...
That audi that I worked on, it had an electric vacuum pump for the brake booster.
I think if I would ever again run a turbo with a vacuum actuated waste gate, and the belt driven pump on the engine failed, I’d eliminate that vacuum pump and get a new electronical vacuum pump from Audi and plumb...
That one worked. Saved Me about $3.50 onna $75.00 order. Cut the postage down to under $5.00.
New master cylinder for the old 59 Dodge W100 is on the way. Also have automatic brake adjuster system coming for it too.
