A few questions:
a. Installed the master cylinder and when I can find a helper, attempting to bleed the brakes. Did discover the process is much easier with the car level and not with the front tires on ramps. Saw on the internet some suggest jacking up the rear of the car, when doing the back brakes. Any suggestions?
b. discovered a plate in the driver's floorboard. can't really tell its purpose. Does anyone know why it is there?
c. Set the timing and now need to set the idle. Not a 100% confident in my skillset with adjusting the 4Gc carburetor. Looked in the book, I am at about 60% thinking I can figure this out. Any tips?
d. been spending a lot of time under the car lately and noticed my power steering rack seems to be leaking. Do they make a repair kit?
