Hi Virg, Both great ideas! I considered manually pumping the fuel out of the tank in the manner you described. Luckily, the drain plug on the bottom of the tank came out easily. Believe it or not, the fuel (10 years old) looked and smelled fine. I dumped it just in case. Air filters- I found a $60 s...

I replaced both rear wheel brake cylinders. Here are some photos of the process if anyone is interested.

Okay, I'm not proud of it....... After pumping brake fluid into the intake manifold (and engine block), I decided to temporarily bypass the power booster all together. I got this idea from the brick forum. It does the job, but I feel a little dirty after doing it. I am hoping to install a better sys...

I finally had a chance to work on the car. I did a full tune up, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points. I also did an oil change. It is running great. After all the fun stuff, I jacked up the car to check the brakes...... again. I keep losing fluid somewhere but it isn't visible on the ground. I didn't r...

Thanks for the help. I'm so tired of searching for a solution to the air filter problem (3 bolt) that $80 pair on the link you guys provided is a real bargain. I'm a little worried about the brake master cylinder. It seems to hold pressure, but who knows.....I will keep the ebay option open. I am an...

Today we got the following in the mail: Plugs Wires Distributor cap Rotor Oil filter Spring kits for front discs (just in case) 2 New front wheel cylinders 2 New rear wheel cylinders Will pick-up some oil locally and will get busy on Sat. We are hitting the wall on the air cleaners. It seems like re...

Today I rebuilt the clutch master cylinder. The pics are out of order as they upload backwards. The first picture is of the rebuilt cylinder. I labeled additional each photo.... Read this section last...... After finishing the job, I drove the car around the block and the clutch worked perfectly, bu...

Okay, I had a chance to install the new clutch slave cylinder (see pic above (thanks Matt!))..... it seemed to work perfectly. I had to adjust the nut on the push rod because the new slave was slightly different, very easy to do. After bleeding the line, the clutch seemed to be working perfectly. I ...

I found a cheap pressure bleeder locally. I will attempt to clean out the lines on Sat. I also have an air compressor that has a rubber-tipped attachment on the blower nozzle. I think I will be able to force out all the old fluid/stuff in the lines. Thanks again!

Turns out the brake master cylinder is okay. I took it apart, lubed up the piston and tapped it with a hammer and the entire thing sprang apart. I will try and take a picture of the internal parts. Because the master cylinder is made of steel rather than aluminum (like the clutch slave) it is still ...
