General Discussion / Re: Operation: Get Dad's '69 RS Convertible Running

Work is done, changing out the rear brake hose did increase the flow to the rear brakes which is great, but unfortunately the brakes are still not working correctly and I am out of time to mess with it. My mom and I came to the decision to hold off and she will get it to a shop when they get back in town. On the bright side the initial problem with the carburetor is fixed. In adition i did 10 years worth of maintenance and changed out most of the rubber. The engine runs nicely, I just wish I got the brakes fixed in time so I could do a test drive. Such is life... Thank you for all the encouragement and advice. When it is road worthy I will post again.
Some other fun facts, I found DMV registrations as far back at 1978. That may be when I dad bought it. The original owners manual with its protective covering was in the glove box and the second edition Chilton repair manual was in the trunk. I also found a one cent repair to get the courtesy lights to turn off.
