'63 Auto Parking Brake Release

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I've owned 4 63's & none of them had any clips or clamps to hold the vacuum lines on.

Subject: IML: '63 Auto Parking Brake Release

On my '63 Crown's auto prkng brake release, I noted that there were no clips
securing the vacuum line to the vacuum diaphram, and this 40 year old hose
fits loose enough to allow air passage. A new hose is on the to-get parts
list. Can anyone confirm that clips were or were not used to secure this
hose to the diaphram?

Clay, for that issue with a non releasing parking brake, it sounds like the
diaphram is stuck in the release position or the manual emergency release
lever is being held in the release position.

Though it isn't a huge problem ,the parking brake has never worked on my
Crown Coupe.
It plain doesn't do anything.  The pedal won't even stay down when you press
on it.
