Power Steering Hose Nut
Any tips,tricks,suggestions on what's worked for you to loosen the 11/16 nut on the power steering high pressure hose? I can get a flare wrench on it but access is limited and awkward and t's hard to get enough leverage to loosen. The car is a 64 coupe. Thanks.See More
"Thanks good to know. I didn't see any o-ring or seal between the mc and booster in the service manual Bendix cross section drawing so I didn't put anything there. The booster seems to operating fine."
"Do not put an o ring there. That's the Delco master cylinder design, not the Bendix, and that groove was originally intended for a felt ring 'air filter,' which usually dries up and disintegrates or is discarded. The…"

Master Cylinder Install Question
Question for those of you who have installed an aftermarket Bendix master cylinder on their Bendix brake booster, I have a question.The aftermarket unit has a groove around the periphery of the puck that inserts into the booster. Should an O-Ring be placed in the groove? If not, will the booster leak vacuum? What is your experience? If an O-Ring is required, then what ID/OD? My OEM MC didn't have a groove nor O-Ring. Thanks.See More

64 Power Servo vacuum leak
Posted by Kent Prows on June 27, 2020 at 4:02pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I finally got around to fixing a leak in my heater core. I decided to check to see if there were any other obvious issues while I had everything torn apart. When I put a vacuum directly (bypassing the transducer) to the power servo it gets to about 10" and then slowly leaks back to zero. The fan will not go to full and the mode door will not open completely. I have read a couple of other posts that said they repaired the power servo leaks. How? Does anyone have one to sell? I just…
