Hey everyone,
I need some help here with my 1971 AN600 Sedan and was wondering if anyone can provide any input on this. I am having problems with my AN600 where my brakes lock up. All four brakes lock up after I drive it four about 5 minutes and smoke comes out of the engine bay. I have bled the brakes twice now, but figured that it might be the brake master cylinder. Would you guys know what it might be and where I might be able to get the part to fix this? I am located in Los Angeles, Ca. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the resevoir, then the brakes would drag, get hotter, drag more.
Could the smoke be from the brakes? If the piston in the master
clylinder were to be sticking and not return all the way to its
resting position, just like with the rod being too long could be
another possibility. Any more info? Bill R.

Re: Brake problems
---Sounds like the return port in the master cylinder is clogged with
gunk. A rebuild sounds in order. Also if there is brake fluid
getting on the engine or exhaust, sounds like you need to check the
diaphram in the brake booster also. Bill Colford has fix tips on
both.
