I have a 68 Charger R/T with factory power Bendix Disc/ Drum setup. I am going to try and chase down a brake problem I have had ever since I put the car back together a few years ago. The first is shake during braking , feels just like rotors are warped. Except its not consistent sometimes it very noticable , other times braking seem totally fine. Seem to be more consistent at higher speed. The other problem is the pedal is inconsistent, sometimes its feel nice and firm, other times feel spongy.
I also get a hissing sound when I apply the brakes sometimes. The sounds is coming from under then dash. I am thinking the Brake booster needs to be replaced . Other thing I noticed is that the master cylinder seems to be leaking out the back bore.
As far as the brake lines go, when I pulled everything apart there was not a "hold-off" valve in line with the rear brakes? Some people say there is supposed to be one, others say their car never had one and as far as I can tell either did this car. I don't think this valve would be associated with any of my problems though?
First thing I am going to do is probably rebuild the master cylinder seems like the easiest thing to do first? ??
