congrats to you too

[racereaper7]

got the transam out yestarday and maybe today if the weather is good. try and get some pictures om my son and i with the transam. going to try and get my dad to come over some time to do a generations picture with transam

[racereaper7]

think this valve is frozen

no fluid in back tank, what could be wrong

found the bandit plate in the trunk

[racereaper7]

please any help on the brake issue will be great
pedal sinks to the floor and i have not replaced the e-brake cable since the floor pan was put in.
i know i still need to replace the driver wheel cylinder (line end rounded off-i will probably have to replace the whole line?) and might have to replace the brakes again

[racereaper7]

my dad finally got the new plates

[JupiterBandit]

if there is no fluid leaks in the rear brakes then the fluid leaked into the booster. Your brake booster would be bad and needing to be replaced.

Is the brake light staying on all the time? If it is then that valve you are pointing at is frozen

[racereaper7]

have not gotten a chance to check rear drums but i might do it this weekend
there is no fluid on the floor
no brake light on

[racereaper7]

i think it might be from the driver rear wheel cylinder but its been a while since i have looked
the line would probably need to be replaced since it was rounded off
there is hardly any brake feel,pedal goes to the floor and its takes effert to stop. (i know you are not suppost to,but when pumping/up and down on brake i can hear a whooshing sound)

[JupiterBandit]

No major leaks soft pedal equals bad master brake cylinder

[racereaper7]

ok thank you for your input

-is there a way to check to make sure,im sorry for the stupid question.
-i need to break out the manuels again

[JupiterBandit]

check all your wheel cylinders and lines for leaks. Then bleed your brakes at all 4 wheels and make sure your fluid is full. If you can bleed your brakes and get a firm pedal then maybe the master cylinder is good.

[JupiterBandit]

If you don't get a firm pedal or it gets some what firm and then goes to the floor the master is bad
