By way of introduction, my father and I are the new owners of a 1967 Kaiser M35A2 with a 1988 Hercules turbo 136hp engine. I just bought it in Las Vegas and only spent an hour with the vehicle during purchase. I will be returning to Vegas in November to resurrect and drive her back to California. It has been sitting for 4 years. The previous owner stopped driving, because the brake pedal went to the floor. She says she drove it from Texas to Vegas in 2010 and put a few hundred miles on her in Vegas until the brake pedal hit the floor. She also says it needs new batteries, but should run. She also bought a new master cylinder, but never installed it, because she was told it was the air pack that needed to be replaced. The oil is full. I squeezed bottom radiator hose, no coolant. I opened both air tanks and a quart of clean water came out of one and 1/2 quart out of the other.
My plan is to replace all fluids, filters, belts, and batteries. Rebuild the air pack with a kit and bleed the brakes. I will only have 5 days in Vegas to accomplish the mission.
1.) What batteries do you recommend?
2.) Will a long version rebuild kit work on a short version air pack?
2.) Any and all advice appreciated on my resurrection plan of getting it started and stopping.
3.) What I should and should not do.
I look forward to your responses.
