    Almost no brakes

    Bought this booster from a well known mopar parts dealer and this is what came. Does this look right. The end that attaches to the brake pedal is not what I was expecting.

    New to me 1971 Duster 340 4 spd. Car supposedly has power disk brakes. When trying to stop press the brake pedal it moves small amount and stops, but the car doesnt. Press as hard as you can and it will eventually stop. Lots of vacuum at the booster. When you start the car with your foot...

    Hot ammeter

    Just bought a 1971 Duster, 340 4spd. While driving it home noticed the lens on the ammeter was discolored. I touched it, extremely hot and soft. could not see what the gauge was reading. Do you think it is simple as a gauge with huge resistance or something else I should look at. Thanks
