i drove it a little more this weekend. i think the wobble may be in the tire itself, but i'm going to tackle the brakes first. i pulled the master cylinder. i have bendix power brakes, so it'll be a little difficult finding parts. i tore it all apart and ordered a rebuild kit(from kanter). i noticed that the brass valve that the brake lines screw into was striped and cracked, so i ordered one of those for $40(from max merritt). the kit i bought cost me around $340, so all together $380 shipped.


oh yeah! i hooked up the vacuum hoses for the wipers, and they work! yay for one less thing to fix/replace! (i was wondering what the knob on the steering column was). i also messed with the electric antenna until i got it working aswell!
