Gday all.
just wondering if a 47 buick and a 51 buick(both 4 door sedans)share the same chassis????I bought a 51 on a aussie holden chassis(unfinished) but maybe able to get a 47,and was hoping to use for its chassis and running gear....

thanks for the help guys.lots if great info helped get it fixed.
master cylinder was stuffed.

sounds like you need to bleed the master cyl.

Yeah i did try that but not 100% on if i did it correctly,i bleed it by using the supply lines as if they were bleed nipples,fronts had no air ,rears had a little but not much.maybe i need to do this more??

I notice that your in saskatoon.i live in australia but i did live close to saskatoon for 5 or so years,prince albert.sask.

Gday all.

Im hoping someone can shead some light on this problem for me.
Im fixing a freinds car for rego,oils leaks,smashed tail light,general clean up,But i also had to bleed the brakes as pedal was going right to the floor,brakes still worked but only in the last half inch of pedals full travel.

I tried bleeding them,but no matter how much i try air still keeps coming thru,ive looked for leaks everywhere with no signs what so ever. and i all can think of is a stuffed master cylinder,am i correct in this thinking???

I know how to bleed brakes and have done it many times with no problems,but its driving me crazy,car still has no pedal but brakes still stop car..all pads are new,master cylinder looks fine but ive never really had problems with them before so dont know how to diagnose it.

Car is a early 90s toyota cressida(aussie car not sure if usa has them or if they are called by another name there) 4Wdiscs.

Anyone have any other tips for me on this???any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
