  • Today, I decided to install the one way vacuum check valve for the power brakes. I took two hoses from some different junk yard vehicles and installed the valve in midair. I didn't like the way it looked and decided to install an acura bracket to the firewall. The valve looks a lot better mounted in the bracket. The problem was that the KB laser intake manifold has the vacuum fitting mounted sideways on the first intake runner, down low.

      • Installed a split folding rear seat, got it inspected. Got the sticker, but I need to rebuild or replace the steering rack.

        Any close ratio racks that fit?

                    Hey how are you man? Looks like a wild chase lol

                    Changed my master brake cylinder (for the first time), didn't have to bleed the entire system, bled the master from F to R fittings (1 at a time), air went out after like 4-5 sets of 20 pumps with the help of my youngest son. I remember rebuilding a rear left wheel cylinder then bleeding just on that same side. Makes sense, air would come out where it entered (nearest point) with strong pressure of course. I saved a lot of time, labor, and brake fluid

                        • Well, was putting air in tires and grabbed each tire and shook it and all were tight except for rear passenger tire, had a little wiggle in it. So jacked it up, took cap off and pulled pin and nut was a little loose. I tightened it down about 3/4 turn and wheel tightened right up. Guess I'll have to go drive it now and see if any sounds come from it. I think I'll also plan day to take rear wheels off and grease them.
