New Member From Lubbock Texas

Post by nmills12 »

Hi! I just acquired my grandfather's 1967 F100 2WD Pickup and have replaced brake shoes, brake cylinders, all fluids and filters, and the master cylinder, and fan belt. I'm confused however because my brake fluid is leaking down the tires and seem to have very little pressure on the pedal. Any suggestions? I also need to time my engine. My goal is to completely restore it back to its originality. Thanks for all the help and any advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Welcome from Georgia! Sounds like you might have a cracked brake line at the fittings. Happens sometimes when you r/r a 40 year old brake line. :doh: That would always let air in and cause the low pressure.
