The tensioning bolt was so rusted out that I couldn’t salvage. I considered replacing, but it’s very low on the priorities list. I bench bled the master cylinder and was successful in getting the air out, then bled brakes again. I’ll assess my brakes when the car actually moves

Had to remove it when working on the frame and didn’t see a need for it.

I successfully installed a power brake booster on my 79 Volare with the correct linkage. Bled the system correctly and the brakes feel quite loose. The car will stop, but I have to put the pedal to the floor. Any suggestions?

It rolls, but not under its own power

Wouldn’t I hear it if it wasn’t installed correctly?

I’ve got a small leak coming from a cooler line. But I will disconnect at the radiator and watch it. No, the trans was not opened for any work other than a filter change. The car shifts correctly and rolls in the appropriate direction when shifted into R-N-D. I removed the parking break as well.

It was attached to the pump. It’s the only way it would have seated up to the flex plate.

No it doesn’t

Yes. About 20 minutes the first time and then another 20 later. Cycled through the gears a bunch too

It’s hot about 8 in it now. Dipstick is reading full in neutral. And no, I didn’t fill it

I’ve got a small leak coming from a transmission line. Could that mean that the pump is working?

No. I put 4-5 quarts in it to start before I ever started it.

Nope, not that either. Nothing happens when I shift it into a gear. There’s not connection taking place inside the transmission

I got my car all back together and was ready to take it on its maiden voyage and it’s not moving! It’s an a904 connected to my slant 6. I’ve checked the linkage, filled the transmission while warm and in neutral. I’ve cycled it back and forth 30 times or so and ran the car for about an hour...

I had already opened up the holes to install a booster that was meant for an a-body. It’ll fit through the firewall, just doesn’t seem to be clearance from the header.
