Stupid question but I'll ask anyways.... I trying to diagnose wether its my booster thats out since my brakes are harder than hard to stop. So when I get a vacuum gauge do I just plug it into the line that goes into the manifold? And once I do that I just start the car up and check the vacuum...

I just bought the car 2 months ago and getting familiar with muscle cars since I was into imports. How can you verify if the calipers are frozen? If any of the calipers were frozen wouldn't that not allow you to brake or atleast on the wheel? Meaning you can feel car weave ? Just my...

2nd mustang, So you are confirming that the lines are correct? And just to verify, if the vacuum is less than 12 inches it 90% can be the booster? The only reason why I say that is due to your previous experience "The engine wouldn't idle at all and the brake pedal was hard as a rock". I...

Thanks for your diagnoise! Yeah my idle is fine so if the vacumis less than 12 inches, can I safely say its the booster? Thanks

I bleed the brakes and my buddy stated that we didn't have to bleed the master cylinder. Is that right? I have power brakes, disk up front and drums in the rear. For some reason, the brakes have to be pressed harder than hard for the car to come to a rolling stop. I got my muffler changed...

Hmmm and they will work for a 1967 coupe? If I knew about this I would have gone that route. I just changed all of my power steering houses. Oh yeah, is it common for the shorter houses to be bent? I know they have to have some give since its always moving but when I took the orginal off the...

Are they online?

Where did you get your seats? I talked to one individual and he gets them specially made. Please help. Thanks

When you state custom hose where did you get it made especially being a pressure hose? hmmm.... I took my return line and that was cracked right where it was closest to the headers. After replacing that another leak seemed to show up after filling up the resvoir and turning the wheel 4-6 times...

I'm about to install (if needed) new power steering hoses for my 1967 mustang coupe 289 V8 tomorrow. I have talked extensively to one of the members about changing the seats or getting them machined since these seem to be the key for leaks. Does anyone have any tips for a better seal or...

Thanks for all of the encouragement! Wes, I live in a Condo with HOA and in the rules is "Mechanical work is forbidden of premises"! In other words a fine can be applied if someone wanted to be an A$$! Plus, it doesn't help having a trail of power steering fluid come from the main road and in...

Thanks Wes.... I was going to bleed the brakes with a vacuum setup but ran over the fluid holder since I was excitied to see if replacing hose stopped the leak. :bang: So I have to make a new fluid holder sinceI have the pump and hoses. I feel like I wasted my time and would have paid...

Just got done being unde the stang for 5 hours! Replaced the return hose and saw 2 cracks due to being near the manifold. Changed my oil and tried to bleed my brakes and couldn't budge the bolt to bleed! I followed the Chilton book manuel for bleeding the Master cylinder.... Disconnect the two...

Okay, I just went under and filled the resvoir with fluid and checked to see where the leak is coming from. I tightened both areas where it was leaking. Unfortunetly, I don't have any fluid and its getting dark since I don't have a garage. It sure was a pain in the A$$ to get my hands in...

Stanger53, When I do replace the seats and the hoses will my local shop have everything in stock? Just want to know before taking off the hoses and finding out they don't! Thanks for the advice. Do you know what are common leaks for a 1967 mustang coupe automatic, pb and ps?

Toolwench, Can you pretty much get the hoses from any autoshop (pep boys, autozone, kragen)? Just want to be prepared before I begin this fix... And does the order of replacing the hoses really matter too? Thanks for your help.

1967 mustang coupe with p/s, p/b and automatic. I don't know if that all makes a diffrence. Thanks for your interest in helping with my problem:D

Okay, here's the situation. I started my car and it was back to "No" power steering. I had to power steering fluid and decided to drive the car to the autoshop to get steering fluid. I filled it up and the car was back to normal with little whine in the beginning. After stopping at a store...

It did make a faint whine but went away. When I drive straight nothing and when making turns at 30+ a little noise. At 5 MPH it sounds horrible but that's after I leaked every where and probably near empty of power steering fluid. When I did fill it back up it was good as new but as it leaked...

I haven't driven my 1967 mustang in two weeks. After warming up the car I began to turn the wheel and it was back to "NO" power steering. I knew I had a leak but always thought it was a small oil leak. I checked the power steering and it was empty. I had no other car available and decided to...
