Recently bought a 73 K-20. Yesterday the brake light on the dash came on(& has stayed on) & the brake pedal is rock hard, which makes stopping quickly difficult!
The parking break was disconnected when I bought it & still is, so isn't causing the light. What does the light signify? Is it just a general alert that something in the brake system is whacky?
The truck has no brake fluid leaks, the master is full & the system has been bled. Vacuum line from the booster to the manifold is new.
This is my first vehicle, so I'm learning as I go.
My dad had a '72 K-20, but never experienced any brake problems. He sold it a long time ago & so hasn't worked on an "Old Truck" in a long time.
Any ideas where to start?
Master cylinder, vacuum booster, ???
Thanks
