power assist brakes - reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hey Bill,

It would sure help to know what components were rebuilt or replaced. All it
says is that you rebuilt the "brake system". Did you rebuild or replace the
master cylinder? What about the brake booster - was it also rebuilt or
worked on? Or, did you just do work on the four wheels ? Were brake hoses
replaced?

Please elaborate and give accurate description of exactly what work was
done. We can't really adequately help diagnose without more info as to
which components were worked on, and which were not.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

After rebuilding the brake system on my G, I adjusted them to
where I have good pedal and good stopping power. After hooking up the
vacuum power assist and starting the car, the pedal drops somewhat and the
brakes lock solid to where the wheels will not turn. I then backed out the
adjustable nut on the master cylinder to the point where the wheels would
turn but then the pedal would go almost to the floor before stopping the
car. Also when I turn off the engine, the pedal comes up fully.

Any idea of what's going on?
