    Brake Warning Lights

    Sorry for the tone.......:D But too many people just disconnect the light because they can't get it to go out. Then when they have to do a *Panic Stop* wonder why the rear end trys to pass them. PB Ps, the brakes are prob getting proper vacume to the booster now and upped the line pressure.

    carb question - warm hard starts

    Just a guess from your discription, A possable internal leak is flooding the intake. Wilth the engine up to operating temp, remove the air cleaner and shut engine down. Watch closely the carb air horn areas for a light wisp of steam looking smoke coming up from it. It is a sure sign of...
