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!
