Brake issue
I have an 81 383 4-speed with power brakes and the power seems to be going away and the break light just came on. With the big cam when I breaked hard it wanted to stall the car. Should I buy a can from Summit to help with the vacuum issues? I was also thinking of going with a set of Bear brakes? Any help or thoughts would be great, also my current breakes work but you have to push them hard, is this safe to drive?
Thanks, John

Check the m/c fluid level. It sounds like you have a leak. If it's low, check for leaks at the calipers and at the rear of the m/c. I would suggest that you don't drive the car until your brake problems are behind you. It's just not worth the risk.
