We used to have this problem but decided we had to fix it after
Dentinger complained about all the brake light flashing going on down
the straights. He thought he was coming to a railroad crossing signal.
We made two changes at the same time, so I don't know which one did the
trick.
1) We bought new rotors. Old ones were thin from being turned too many
times.
2) We installed a residual pressure valve in the front brake line. It
does the same thing as the stock (40 year old) ones did. Except this one
is made by Wilwood, is new, and works. They make two pressures -- get
the low pressure one. They are available from your local speed junkie or
through mail order outfits like JEG's that cater to the hot rod set,
since street rodder systems tend to have the same problem.
Since doing these two things, we have had the problem only once or twice
in a year-and-a-half.
This may not work for you, no guarantee stated or implied, don't try
this without professional help, and do not spindle, fold, or mutilate
this message.
