Default Shout out to SanDiegoPaul...

Thanks for the help with my brakes. I brought my 67 396 Impala over to Paul's house today and we power-bled the brakes. I recently put on a brand new master cylinder and manually bled the brakes, but felt the pedal a little squishy. We hooked up his power bleeder, bled all four wheels and I was good to go! Cali,68 came over and <cough, cough> lent us a hand . Yes, David pointed out how the chrome on the voltage regulator needed to be polished. Thanks, Daaaaaaaaave. We also fixed the radiator shroud. It was previously broken. (You C3 guys know all about broken radiator shrouds) It had slipped a smidge and the fan was hitting it. We elongated the mounting holes and re-fit it. Voila, problem fixed.
Anyhoo, I have good brakes and won't be afraid to drive it now. Thanks again Paul.
