<p>It is odd how The Blog made a comeback! We all seemed to be using the Forums (i.e. General, 63/64 Specific, Restoration, etc.) then in the last few month it seems everyone is finding their way to the old Blogs. Even yesterday after removing Blog from the drop down under Forums, (which I had left to help find things not on the Help Page) I still see people posting new Blog entries! </p>

<p>My gut instinct would be if I came to the 63/64 Cadillac site home page, looked at the header, and wanted to discuss something my eyes would be drawn to <strong>Forums</strong>. If you click on the link and then click +Add, and do not select any of the 8 discussion forums, it will default to 63/64 Cadillac Specific discussion. I must be missing something!

<p>Thanks Jason, I'll post in the discussion forums from now on. Hope your recovery is going well after the surgery. </p>

<p>I took Blogs off the drop down option from the menu and existing Blogs are still there, but you can still get to and create a Blog if you are at an existing Blog.</p>

<p>Chris, It is because it is a Blog. I wish there was a way to turn off Blogs without losing the tons of info originally posted. A Blog (web log) just a running post of things and pop up at the top as posted. Forum's are much better as they provide chronological posting and nested forums. Blogs are just a linear "throw it out there and see what is up next" type format. <br></br><strong>For those wanting to start a new discussion topic I would strongly suggest that you post as one of our tailored…</strong></p>

<p>No idea why this blog is posting in order of newest post first, which can make it slightly weird to read through. For anybody wanting to replace their booster and master cylinder, I just wanted to mention that the Delco and Bendix do not mate well without spacers between the booster and master cylinder. The brakes kept overheating and sticking to the point where there was no pedal, but luckily I found a classic car mechanic who knew exactly what it was. A few spacers between the master…</p>

<p>Times like these, I wish I had a lift to put the car on. The weird thing is the brake pedal seem to move more in the morning and after driving the car all day the pedal seems to have less and less travel which is what made me think it was some sort of vacuum issue, but I wouldn't really know without driving somebody else's car. </p>

<p>Thanks Tony! I was worried there was something wrong with them, but I guess my brakes never worked the way they were supposed to. My brake booster must have been leaking for a long long time. </p>

The one I had was not the stock one for 1964, but he had a core handy that he rebuilt for me. It's all installed and I finally have brakes again and can drive the car, but the pedal seems stiff and only has about an inch of travel it seems.

<p>Yeah, the paint laid out really nice. I had to paint the rest of the master cylinder while it was hooked up in the engine bay and it was a tight squeeze, but now I won't have to bleed the system again. </p>
