Thanks John!!
I tried bleeding the master, still the same. Swapped the booster and the brakes are good now.
Figured out my thermostat was bad, replaced it. Still showing hot. I went and bought a new temperature switch and compared the resistance. Sure enough the switch was the wrong one. Replaced it, went and got a shroud from pull a part for $8.95, and now it seems to be running nice and cool.
I got a bottle of Lucas trans treatment, put it in, and now the trans shifts nice. I also dropped my gas tank and fixed the sender for the gas gauge. Now I have a working fuel gauge. Turns out that my idle problem was from being about out of gas.
So guess what?........after getting all those problems resolved today,
I'm driving this bad boy
took the family (including the dogs cruising)
we put around 50 miles on it tonight without a hitch.
I love driving this thing!!!
Still gotta tie up a few loose ends (ducts in the dash, heat and air controls, trans speedo gear change, and paint some interior trim)
oh and I need to transfer the stereo system from the 80 also
