Reply to "Brake warning light"

WELL THE "SHUTTLE" IS AND IS'NT A VALVE EXACTLY! WHEN EITHER THE FRONT OR REAR SYSTEM FAILS IT SHUTS OFF THE FLOW TO THAT SYSTEM. SINCE THE FLUID IS LOST ALREADY IT KIND OF WORKS TOO LATE. BUT IT DOES MAINTAIN THE WORKING HALF OF THE BRAKES. AND LASTLY I DO NOT THINK OF MYSELF AS ANY KIND OF AN "EXPERT", NOR AM I EVEN CLOSE TO BEING ONE! THAT NOTE WAS MENT AS A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO MY OTHER FRIENDS ON THIS FORUM, WHO HAVE MY HIGHEST RESPECT, AND WHOM I, MYSELF, CONSIDER TO BE "EXPERTS". THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD ON PANTERAS MANY MANY MORE YEARS THAN I EVER WILL. I, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE BEEN IN "LOVE" WITH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES SINCE I FIRST HELPED MY OLDER BROTHER ASSEMBLE A V-8 CORVETTE ENGINE FOR HIS 55 CHEVY!(IT WAS EITHER A 283 OR A 327). THE YEAR WAS 1959, AND I WAS 8 YEARS OLD! I INSTALLED THE PLUG WIRES CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. NO BODY ELSE KNEW WHAT THE FIRING ORDER WAS. BUT I DID! BECAUSE I HAD JUST FINISHED COMPLETING THE MODEL, "THE VISIBLE V-8", REMEMBER THAT ONE? IT WAS BASED ON THE CHEVY SMALLBLOCK! AND NOW I'AM BUILDING, PROBABLY, MY TENTH OR ELEVENTH ENGINE, 42 YEARS LATER! BELIEVE OR DON'T! ALL THE BEST, MARLIN.
