soft brakes and brake light comes on-help[

Alot of good ideas and I will check those once the rain stops...someday. lol. Now I have a tapping noise that is very noticeable when I give the engine gas. I hope its not about to throw a rod. Doesnt maker any sound when I let off the throttle.
Im starting to really think about buying a 73 charger that a guy has locally for 3-4000. I hope this one lasts till then.
