Hey Ya'all
I first have to say that I really apprediate the people who made this happen, and the good folks that give their advice so wisely.Thanks Glenn.I have 2 issues with my 69 P-1800 and it is becomming more the nightmare than my x-wives. Bear in mind that the 69 was a "cross-over year)
1) Brakes: I replaced the rear 2 lines from the box on the rear end- dual system, replaced both rear cylinders and shoes. Rebuilt both front calipers and got new pads and discs. Went the "old way" to bleed brakes and started with rear far side. Got spit (air & rusty fluid) one time only. Pump, hold, nothing tied other side rear, same thing. Went to book- DAH- said to take out switch at junction box before bleeding and make sure the pistons (like 2 fingers) are together. Took out switch, checked (W/mirror-book shows right side up,mine ain't,togeterness(sp) of parts-OK. Tried again, no joy. Have good pedal.no squish nor bleed-down, have rear and front brakes stop when pedal applied, bled front and they are good.
Am I missing something here?
2( As you may recall, Crossover year---
Stromberg carbs. Replaced diapragms, oiled and cleaned carbs, new points, plugs, rotor, cap, battery, adjusted valves. Started up up, ran FINE!, turn key-cool. 2 days later, start up to check timing, undo vaccuun line snd try to get into specs, conks out. Can't restart. Re-checked everything- seems OK, so what am I missing? Your ideas are appreciated.
