Most common problems:

Brake fluid leak

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure, and leaks can cause a loss of braking power.

Brake master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can wear out or fail, leading to ineffective braking.

Brake caliper sticking

Calipers can become stuck, causing uneven braking or drag on the wheels.

Worn brake pads

Brake pads wear out over time and need regular replacement to maintain braking efficiency.

Engine overheating

V-shaped engines can have cooling issues, especially if the cooling system is not maintained.

Oil leaks

Older Chevy V8 engines are prone to oil leaks, especially from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Carburetor problems

The 4BBL carburetor can suffer from issues like clogging or improper adjustment, affecting engine performance.

Distributor and ignition issues

The ignition system, including the distributor, can wear out or fail, leading to misfires or starting problems.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear, leading to timing issues and potential engine damage.

Exhaust manifold leaks

V8 engines can develop exhaust manifold leaks, causing noise and potentially impacting performance.

Fuel pump failure

Mechanical fuel pumps can wear out, leading to fuel delivery issues and engine stalling.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum lines and gaskets can deteriorate, causing rough idle and performance issues.
