Default Re: 1970 SS 396 Chevelle: My first job!

I think I might name this car Snowball. Every time I touch something, another can of worms is opened. The master cylinder needs to be replaced as the current one on there is leaking out the back. The area on the booster where they mate up is not is so good of shape either so that might get swapped out too. This will be a good time to put a correct master cylinder with bleeders on!
I also took the steering wheel off to see what was going on there. The lock plate was installed incorrectly. Once again I am not sure how that is even possible since it's keyed so it only goes on 1 way not to mention the retaining ring wasn't installed to hold the lock plate down. Simple fix but seriously...some people should not be allowed to work on cars.
I can't wait to dive into the electrical issues!
