Kisner,

My car is also a late 68 with all the same parts you are talking about.

As I said if you take the switch out of the valve you can manually center the valve. Sorry, I didn't say it was easy. So if you have to pull the mastercylinder off, you have to pull the mastercylinder off. Two lines and two bolts off it comes. Then you can see the valve clearly. I would use some sort of pick [ice or dentist] to move it. Remember patients is how to get it done.

I don't mean to offend, but if you don't understand the brake system and aren't comfortable working on this, then by all means don't. You shouldn't play around with brakes, you never know when you might need them !!! Find yourself a good garage that will do this type of work. I own a garage here in Orlando, FL and we work on many older cars. In the last 30 days....1960 Corvair, 1960 T Bird, 1961 T Bird, 1948 Chrysler, 1966 Mustangs [2], 1977 Triumph Spitfire, etc. There has to be someone like my shop near you.

These valve stick cause of the age and dirt gets in there and they get sticky. Thats why I took it off my car.

Good luck.
