God Dammit......

[bubba428]

how come every time I fix something, something else breaks. Like last night in the snow, my master cylinder died. This AM BOTH brake hoses blew out. I can't win....So now I had to call out of work as I'm losing money, and now I have to deal with this crap. Any body wanna help me drive this car off a pier?

[Knipps]

:popcorn: let the offers roll in

[alamantia]

would this be the car you wanted to install a 600hp 383 in?

[bubba428]

at one point in time.....I've decided i'm buying a roller for that motor....this cars a bastard

[alamantia]

20 year old beat on cars will do that to ya

[bubba428]

yea I know....it sucks so much

Got the hose..might put it in...but I'm afraid something else will break :lol:

[alamantia]

a flaring tool and a compression fitting will be your friends but if you can reline the whole system, sucky job, but worth it in the long run

EDit: i just realized he said hoses and not lines

[bubba428]

:lol: yea...little bit easier...the crappy thin is the brake lines are fine...the fuel lines are toast...I know thats next....bound to happen

Compression fittings are fine on fuel line but NOT on brake lines...

[bubba428]

yea LOL that can go bad fast. The fuel lines are anothe times project...tomorrow i'm gonna take care of this crapola and see if I can't scrounge up 2c to go to the meet

[alamantia]

I concur, compression fittings will work on brake lines as a temp fix, ive seen it work, but its never a good idea (and illegal) thats why i said its much better, and proper, to just reline the whole section.

Edit: ya know what, now that I think about it, they were not compression fittings, they were unions that i saw... woops, some bad advice there, my bad bubba

[AliWantsNss]

I can sell you a more reliable car that runs.

[bubba428]

for $1...cause thats all I got till spring. my job barely pays bills

Hey Bubba, welcome to old cars!

[bubba428]

haha I had less ***** with my busted a** V6....damn, O well

[ar0ck]

Welcome to the world of modification.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I believe it's been said before, but once you start messing with stuff, especially on an older car, things are going to break. Normally sooner rather than later.

[bubba428]

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

is it me, or does anybody else hear dueling bankos?

Just you. I hear dueling banjos though :lol:

[98tadriver]

did you ever fix the one brake line going to the rear? or did u clamp it off and just use 3 brakes to get by?

[bubba428]

i bent it over for now...I swapped the rear to the 4th gen disc, so I need to do a new set up on it...for now its just the front brakes. but I redid the whole front brake system ,cept 1 hose. So far, Master cylinder, both calipers, pads, rotors, bearings, and driver side hose. took about 20min to do the hose last night. the full break job was only about an hour.

[Blacdout96]

Just you. I hear dueling banjos though :lol:

haha. fixed

[bandit88]

Just you. I hear dueling banjos though :lol:

I figured bankos was some new things I've never heard of. :wink:
