My HOT ROD Power Tour pictures Two days and a Free pioneer stereo system

[moparstuart]

My buddy Scott Shanks got me the hook up with pioneer stereo systems , I spent a couple days on the power tour in the pioneer booth and they gave me a very nice very loud system.  They also  installed for me . We have had a long , long last two days but ti was also a blast .

  Well we worked on the car all day last saturday doing some up grades and also getting it ready for the trip .  Sunday morning I had a free car show to goto across town and the brakes were acting a litgtle funny .   Well by sunday afternoon we had it over at my buddys mopar shop to make up goody bags for our local mopar show here this weekend . We got to lookin at the brakes ,changed out the master cyclinder, and the booster check valve .  Well finally we decided it must be the booster , long story short no one had a 69  or a 70 booster .  We found and ordered a 71 boost for monday hopeing we could make it work .

So then once the boost came in monday at noon we hoped to have it on and done by 3 pm to take off for st louis to spend the night at allens mopad before driving into effingham ill tuesday morning .
Well the boost was huge and fought getting off and the new one had to be cut and hammered into place ( bigger holes in different local on and fire wall and in bracket ) . Took us till 7 pm to get it on and working .  Have better then ever braking power now . I think my original boost has been failing ever since new 4 years ago , it always leaked back down when parked and need to build back vacuum this new bigger one works great.



Anyways so we didnt even get to allens place untill after midnight , I hate driving after dark with 40 year old headlights .  Then we had to get up bright and early to make it to effingham and catch up with the mopower guys .

it was a pain fighting it but really its nice not to be fighting the other issue of the boost er leaking off I thought for years now I had a proportioning value problem or the wrong master cycling for front discs and rear drum .  But now i know what the problem was  .
