This is a '65 Impala with Manual Brakes...
Today, a couple hours ago, the brake pedal started to get very hard to push and wasn't stopping the car very well. Eventually it got to the point that I had to put the car into neutral when coming to a light and literally stand with both feet on the brakes to get the car to stop. Sitting at the light I had to keep it in neutral because if I wasn't standing on the brake pedal and only holding it with one foot with moderate pressure the car would still move if in gear. I
I looked at the brake MC reservoir and it has plenty of fluid. Nothings appears to be leaking from any of the wheel cylinders. Master Cylinder is about 15 years old...
Any Ideas on where to start?
Thanx! bang
