List,
A problem surfaced today on my 1968 Crown Coupe, as you might
guess, it concerns the brakes. This car has always had excellent
brakes, which never caused a problem, until today. Here is what happened
today, the car had good brakes at the start of the drive, but when I
stopped for any reason, stop light, etc, noticed that the brake pedal would
slowly sink toward the floor from the pressure of my foot. At first, a
couple of rapid pumps gave a hard pedal, but then the pressure of my foot
again caused the pedal to go lower, which allowed the car to creep
forward. Just as I arrived home, had hardly any brakes left at all, more
pumping of the brake pedal had no effect. Of course, I checked the master
cylinder for fluid level, and found both compartments full to the brim, The
engine runs smooth, which makes me doubt if there is a vacuum leak.
I need your suggestions as to what caused this problem and the fix you might
recommend. I have owned this car for fourteen years and the calipers had
been converted to stainless steel sleeves prior to that.
Thank you,
