Re: [Chrysler300] help Joe out

1964/1964 Bendix-type drum brakes from a 64 300  (that should not matter) .
Other than that, everything is stock.

(pedal first got hard, then disappeared entirely, went right to the floor) ,
I (wrongly) assumed it was a bad master cylinder and told him to change it.
Which he did.

Very lean running or retarded timing and exceptionally hot exhaust manifold?
Exhaust manifold is only thing in the neighborhood that gets hot enough
would seem? Does car eat valve cover gaskets also? Master on my 383 Dodge
pickup sits over the exhaust manifold and gets real hot but I have never
lost  the brakes . . ..
