73 convert.2bbl cleveland,
So, I am running down the I 95 a few days ago,beautiful
FL fall day, top down, sons dog in front pass seat, cruising at 70 + ,such a great day I went past my exit on purpose.No probs.
I had noticed a few
drops of ? engine oil, or PS fluid on the garage floor over the last few outings-checked PS-fine. Went to the beach with family in 2 cars,Wednesday-dropped of my 3 and went to look for parking. On the way to beach, noticed pedal down a bit.
Turned to park and brake light bulb went on and I lost 95% of braking.
Crawled to my indy, 4pm....he found a burst(rusty?) rear brake line and a failed pressure switch. Had it fixed by the next day.
I thought...could have happened at 75mph, the other day---could have been killed.
Moral....check all new leaks....
Also, rear brake bulb(original ) is out, BTW, seems to have ? yellow paint on it but the glass is black with age....Is it a regular 1157 bulb?
