Manual brakes and no parking brake

56 Pontiacpiano,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as of your last post stating that your girl friend helped you, you are on the road of a life of misery.

"If it has tits or wheels, you are going to have trouble with it"

You got both!

 

He said "sister".
Now, if he were in the Ozarks that might mean the same thing...

 

That is the keep death off the roads principle when a newbie with no tools, no shop, no experience, and no knowledge of cars starts monkeying with 50+ year old brakes.

If I was there I could figure it out and so could you. I'm just saying this one may be a little too much for a beginner's first job.

 

Reawake the old post.
I have braking power. Whenever I am able to get her running and over to the mechanic, I'll ask him to get underneath when she's up on a lift and check the brakes and make sure it's all okay. It all gon be k.
