Need some help on my 49 Super Deluxe I just purchased. The car was a nonrunning but very solid car which I since got running with some fuel work and still have to jump a wire from battery to starter solenoid. Anyway, it now runs quite smoothly but smokes quite a bit probably from sitting for 4-6 years. I got a brake pedal after bleeding the master but after driving for 3 days lost brakes completely. Questions: How hard is it to do rings on the 356 without pulling the motor? (I'm an old Ford tech but admittedly don't know 'it' from Shinola about 49 flathead Packards) Is there a dual cylinder master cylinder kit anywhere for a small peice of mind and not a huge peice of
pocketbook? Thanks for your patience and advice.
