Re: engine info 1800 1965

Paula;

Don has made a very good, comprehensive list to which I would just like to add some notes about the brake system: Make certain the emergency brake works BEFORE your shake-down/test drive (jack up rear and check both sides-adjust as necessary). Since the hydraulic brakes are of a single system type, any hydraulic sys line failure due to rust will mean NO brakes whatsoever...so the e-brake needs to be available and working well!...

it would be a shame to damage or loose the car due to a brake failure with no back-up e-brake...thats the reason I like the silicon fluid conversion so much...5 years of storage is NOTHING to an oldie so equipped! The clutch master cylinder is even still full!

Would you guys please make up your mind and finish counting!

See you on the road!
