Hi Gang -
No one is going to believe this except John, but today I
needed to move my '60 out of the "Intake Garage" to make room for the expected
arrival of the '62 tomorrow. The neighborhood looked deserted. More
importantly, there were no police around to scope in on the plates that expired
13 years ago. I just couldn't help myself. I had to go out for a
short drive. Emphasis on short as I haven't gotten the cars' gas tank
cleaned out yet. Even though I had to take it slow due to the Power Brake
booster still being on vacation; it was glorious!
So glorious I guess I started day dreaming about future
trips a little bit when suddenly I realized I was coming up on my driveway too
fast. Bracing myself and using both feet I jammed down on the brake
pedal......... and damn near went through the windshield. My Power Brake
Booster decided to come back to work! I continued up to the garage,
filled up the gas can and backed up and drove off to experiment a little
further. So far so good. The action is not as smooth as it's
supposed to be but on Luke's advice I had bought some silicone based rubber lube
earlier and gave it a good dose once I got back home so we'll see if it
continues to improve.
I plan to have the unit I took off the parts car rebuilt
against future failure, but for the time being, it sure is nice to have the
power assist back!
Happy Memorial Day Indeed !
