finally get car all back together. Tach and shift light work. Clean it up for the triumphant, it all works, spin around the block. Car is running great. I'm flying down a country road with a smile on my face. This is what it's all about! Put on the breaks, I feel pedal "pop" and go to the floor. No brakes! Limp home. Reservoir is empty. Nothing at any caliper. A little fluid on garage floor under about the pedals. Master cylinder? I don't even know where it is, yet. Under gas tank? Behind pedal cluster? How does one get to the master cylinder? I am searching for my .pdf manual now. DAMN!

you were exactly right, zach. after cooling off a little, I looked closer at each wheel. left front line, where it connects to car, pushed off. coupling, looks to be brass, of braided steel line broke. i might as well replace all of them as long as i am doing it. better than master cylinder, as I first suspected, based on search of this board. that sounds like a PITA. anyone know the best place to buy a set of SS lines for a six?
