Had a look at Cemax's garage in person and there are plenty of goodies there in good condition. He's lucky to get a coupe in such good nic. Almost a sin to dismantle it.

Can't wait to see it coming along further.

Cheers.

Hey guys quick one.

When my car is cold and I pull the headlight switch there is a 5 second delay before the lights actually switch on. They are the standard sealed beam type.

Is this normal?

Another 8 hour flight and you could be here in Aus DD !

As title states, In need of the valve (in good working condition) that goes between the brake booster and intake manifold. I think its called a check valve.

Thanks rally.

Took the valve off and tested it out. It was installed the right way. I blowed on it and it kinda sounds like a duck call used for hunting. Kinda hard to get air out the other side, is this normal? Sprayed a lot of WD-40 in there as well and put it back...the same way of course. One side is brass-ish color (the blow side) and the other end is the same color as the shaft. There were no markings on it that I could tell other than the letters E-K1 whatever that means.

Could the problem be at the ends? Where it meets the booster or the opposite end where it meets the valve on the manifold?

How serious is it to have the engine rev about 500 rpms when I touch the brakes and again when I let go of them?

edit: diagram indicates direction currently installed.

Cheers.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I had a look at the brake pedal where the switch is located and fitted a nut and bolt there (as suggested) since there was an empty circular hole where the switch fits in to, as you guys guessed correctly. (see the red arrow) I'm thinking that mashing the pedal the other night broke away whatever was there before. So the brake lights work properly again! Hooray!

Does it matter where each of the two green wire ends go on the switch? It seems to work either way and I didn't label them before I took it off.

As far as the rev issue...Benny is that valve out of the intake supposed to be blocked? I'm confused.

Cheers.

Blew into the hose into the booster with my mouth, not sure it did anything. The brakes light are still stuck on when I connect the battery, very annoying. Tried pulling the brake pedal back and still no luck. I have no idea whats going on. Need help!
