Hi,
I replaced the master cylinder on my 60 Tbird w/A/C , and power booster is inside the engine compartment. (not under the dash)
The problem is the pedal was low and I checked everything. I changed out the brake cylinders, I checked the hoses for bends , ballooning, or kinks etc. New Brake shoes, newer drums you name it. Yes, bled the brakes several times.
Now, I might have adj the master cylinder to high to get a higher brake pedal, but sometimes, after I turn off the car, the brake lights will stay on unless I kick the pedal and kinda of hand force it up a bit. Even then, it will go off, then come back on sometimes.
Also, I had a 60 Tbird before, and there doesn't seem to be much brake pedal return at all. My neighbor, who is a pretty good backyard mechanic, says it's most likely the return spring or something like that in the brake booster. Does that sound correct?
If so, is that a big job to replace the booster. ?
