Do they work? Usually when master cylinders are bad it's seized or leaking, if they work but not getting power assist it's the booster.

Read the old replies, the opinions are going to be the same.

Mileage doesn't mean much when it looks like it's spent most of its life outside and those B pillars ususlly don't wear through like that on low mileage either but could have been deteriorated and more prone to damage from years of sun. At least it's not a crazy price range he's starting with...

At one point when they were affordable to buy and plentiful in yards it would have been pretty easy to pick up a 5th Avenue or loaded dodge or plymouth to rob the power stuff and wiring out of. But now even the junk ones are going for what good ones used to sell for. I should have bought some...

Cool! That's neat you added all stuff to it. The one I have is a stripper even radio delete. I've also been trying to find a cage or at least see one to copy since they were pretty basic back then.

Some of the doors could be electric. They are on Chryslers, i don't know how far they got into the automatic temperature control on the others. I think AC comes out of the front vents and heat comes out of the defrost and floor. It won't make a difference if AC works or not it's not smart...

I don't know how they do those things, years ago I saw something else like that being rebuilt. They replaced the failure prone parts lile certain capacitors and a voltage transformer whether it needed it or not, re soldered certain spots then tested it and replaced whatever else wasn't working...

Are both heater hoses hot at the fire wall? If they are chances are good it's not the heater core and something else like blend door actuator is the problem.

That sucks. I've been hearing some issues with other similar sized companies. Same thing, someone not looking for a refund but guidance with either obvious manufacturing defect for something they spent some serious money on or being told a delivery date that comes and goes and comes and goes or...

Try pulling at it or trying to make it retract while pushing the black plunger thing in the door jamb multiple times while youre doing it. It's part of the tension setup and might make it do something. Otherwise maybe it'll be more clear once it's removed from the car what's wrong with it.

Hard to place a value without pics and even then it's all over the place. Someone can sell a real nice one for $6 grand or more. The next person could have a problem getting $2,500 for the identical car. The T tops make it more desirable to some but the Ford rear end is a detractor.

End link- whatever your parts source has. They are alas common as dirt and pretty cheap.

How much cranking? That can be normal as the gas in the carb evaporates. Some are worse for that then others.

I don't know if it has the offset thermostat to clear the AC compressor or how much difference it makes over regular performer if you have 2bbl heads still? If either matter.

I don't see that Volare used ones with the second arm on it. Which is strange since the M bodies always did and they have the same windshield? But it is the right one for 82 new Yorker at least.. im not sure when they went from silver to black..
