How exactly did you mount those Clarion 4x6's? I have the same ones but not mounted because they wouldn't fit. Did you use the old plastic shim thing from the stock speakers on them too?

YAY!! Oil pressure gauge works!!
it was the OPSU now i know how to test and see if they are good to 
ok.. for the plates.. the opening is oval... right where the sides of the magnet hits the opening, i just grinded away 1/4" on each side of the opening snug like a bug (and yes, i used plastic shim)
new caliper is in... but we bled the system for quite some time.. and still air.. i can barely stop (made for an interesting ride home..)

Jerry, you start by bleeding the caliper behind the driver, right? Then the right rear, right front... When I did my 85, I replaced the MC and ALL the calipers and hoses... they work good now! How's the vacuum booster vacuum line?

When this happened to me it was the master cylinder. My rear calipers were not working at all and I replaced them. Now I had to pump the brakes two times before I could even think of stopping. I had no brakes at all as the master was just about frozen shut for the rears from not being used for so long. I had brakes but noticed the calipers were frozen making me change the calipers out. I was confused also and hope this is all that is wrong on yours. We bled the poop out of the lines also until we figured it out. The booster is easy to figure out, as you stop the car and about a hour later or even the next day pop off the vacuum. If it is without a air burst then you have a leak. If it is holding air leave it alone. Rick
