Re: [MBZ] Rebuilt master cylinders any good?
To borrow a phrase from Wilton; Zactly One time in the 70s, I found a master cyl worth putting a kit in. All the rest have been so rusty that it is not worthwhile. If you have a very rare (unobtanium) master, Silver Post restorations will bore and put a SS liner in your master (for a price). I did buy a rebuilt booster from FLAPS 3 yrs ago for a 107 because there was a significant (BIG) difference between it and the new one from Q. (Rustysee below) Only time I can think of that I didn't buy from Q. That rebuilt booster has been fine. I can sell a new master cylinder for far less than a rebuild kit. Why rebuild?

Re: [MBZ] Chavez is dead!
It has never really been stable, but there are periods when it is not totally stupid. I lived there a couple years in the '70's. Day to day it was fine. Rude as heck people, but no major drama. Elections were another issue. Close down the city for a month, kids out of schools, shops with bare shelves. Not that there was a bunch of food choice anyway. Gas was and remains cheap. Local gendarmerie was to be avoided. Crooked and bound to toss you in the brig if you glanced their way. It was and is a kleptocracy. Chavez was good at bread and circuses, making a show of his socialist credentials, but was robbing the people and nation blind. Not going to change, just the faces.

Their state POTrol used to sit at the state line and pull over every truck they could. Stick you for a big fine for not having an IL inspection on your truck licensed and owned out of state. Even pickups. Fines equivalent to $500 to $1000 in today's inflated $. See, you had to have an IL inspection on your pickemup just to drive a mile into IL and go home. Somewhere along the line they reeled in the fuzz on that one, so its better now. The only way out was if you had an appt at the closest insp station.
