The brakes are fine now.... 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be DeWayne on  Thu Mar 13 12:58 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I ended up buying new front calipers from Groton along with new front/rear brake hoses and a new distribution block. The brake pedal isn't as high as it used to be but the brakes work fine now. I still think the front calipers that I got from Carquest had an internal problem of some sort. The new brakes have been installed for a year this month without any more problems.

I was recently thinking of selling the 240, but I just can't part with it because I've had it for so long. It needs some work, but with the gas prices so high, I think it's worth fixing up the car to save some money on gas instead of driving my big truck to work every day.

The 240 is due for inspection in June and I'm not sure it will pass emmissions if it blows white smoke. I don't see a window of time between now and then that I will be able to replace the head gasket myself. My to-do list is long, so something has to give unless I work 24/7!! 8~)
