this is a shot in the dark for me but i am guessing that it could be that somebody put a file in the motor and it would rattle when the engine was running ---- and I am by no means a mechanic this is purely a guess. LOL

Cool deal,two Packards are better than one --- I would definitely suggest using the one with a good body ---

i don't know what Craig is doing out there with two teenage girls, in Neveda, in a Pat but I (a redneck from Texas)also think they are great looking cars

Quote:

the guy told me where the unit was before i told him, he understands where it is and they have built a custom unit for someone in the same position before (not a Packard)I think he said a Buick --- but the idea is they will take mine apart and build the same thing, just with all the new upgrades and a dual resevoir mc

Craig,
I will include that picture, that should help them see whats going on alot better than I can explain it, thanks

Fred Rupert at MP Brakes (1-888-351-8785 Ext.211)

this is the number, call him and ask him, I don't know the answers to your questions and he probably does so there is no reason for me to be the middle man when you can simply call him yourself -- as in my first post on the subject, I just asked for a bolt in replacement for the TreadleVac, thats it

I called him back and they do not offer single line master cylinders..

I wanted everybody to know that I have just spoke with Fred Rupert at MP Brakes (1-888-351-8785 Ext.211) and I explained the situation with the brakes and he said that if I send them my TreadleVac that they will make a bolt in replacement with the same valving and travel, pedal ratio, etc.. it will be a dual resevoir with remote fill and bolt right in -- will cost $495 but I'm sure that price will come down as more people buy the kit -- so, maybe this is a alternative or a "fix", I can't do it right now but I will in the near future but I wanted to let yall know that I have a possibility for those of us who want to change out the TreadleVac

I'm not here to argue about the greatness of TreadleVac either, this is for people who would like to change out their booster and master cylinder only, if you are happy with what you have then by all means, carry on, as I will do the same

Thanks Craig

This is what a 352 sounds like with glasspacks, for those that were interested

funny thing is that my dad was a drunk and he drove all over the place for 40+ years drunk as a skunk more times than not and died in a car crash stone sober at 54 because someone wasn't watching the road and ran into him -- just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it won't happen to me -- i just don't think its worth the risk when i'll have other people in the car and would happily spend a thousand bucks on the brakes if that what it takes for it to be super reliable and safe and
the fact is, it is my car that i bought and as a matter of fact this is my build blog where i am updating stuff that i am going to do with MY car,

so kick rocks BH
