RE: Brake Issue on Newport

["Daniel McCormack" <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Had a similar problem on a 67 Newport convert I used to own many years ago.
A mechanic friend of mine suggested I change out the booster with a loaded
(new MC already attached) rebuilt booster and it solved the problem.

Subject: Brake Issue on Newport

Hello all,

A guy in my car club has a 1966 Newport with an extremely sensitive
brake pedal. I'm not sure if the 66 shares a similar platform but I'm
sure there's a few guys on here that may have a idea of whats going
on. Either way, the car has power brakes, and the pedal is pretty firm
but not tight like the booster isn't working. Instead it's as its
working too good, because the slightest pressure will almost lock the
front drums up at slow speeds. You really have to be super careful
driving it or you'll literally end up through the windshield! I
suggested adjusting the cams in the front drums, just wondering if you
guys have any other ideas. He doesn't believe it has the dual wheel
cylinders at each corner. Thanks for the suggestions.

- Dave
