Just popping in Joined: 2009/3/31 13:46 Last Login : 2023/8/7 14:07 From Northville, MI, USA Group: Registered Users Posts: 1	My 56 Caribbean brake pedal is very high and barely moves, but the car stops well. Do I need to get a new booster/treadle vac (sp). If so, where do I get them? Thanks Posted on: 2023/5/3 20:36

Check out this 53 commercial starting about the 35 second mark and see how little pedal travel it takes to stop the car. Posted on: 2023/5/3 20:53

The last time it was rebuilt decades ago I don't recall it being so light-footed but it sure is now and I like it like that! Posted on: 2023/5/3 23:06

Sounds like my 400. Is anything different from how it used to be, or did you just start driving the car? Posted on: 2023/5/4 4:58
	'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted. '55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.

Also check the related vacuum hoses and reserve tank for leaks. Posted on: 2023/5/4 8:37
