Nearly ready for spring time….
Change the oil and filter, check!
Clutch Slave, check!
Tighten nuts and bolts, check!
Tire pressures, check!
Safety wire knock offs, check!
Trans x fluids, check!
Brake booster fluid good for -30 degrees…..
…. Wait a minute, brake booster fluid… antifreeze? Yup, FULL!! My brake problem wasn’t my master cylinder as suspected. I couldn’t see the color of the fluids dripping from the pedal push rod entrance to the booster. When I replaced the master, I found that the entire lower half of the booster was FULL of antifreeze. Long story short, the engine builder (not mentioning any names here!) plugged the booster vac into one of the temp sensor ports in the weber intake.
No wonder my brakes suck! At least they will never freeze!
