Question

cstreit and jadams

Greetings from the garage

No, in fact there is no switch to the pedal cluster. There is some adjustment for the pedal itself, but that is already adjusted to the maximum.

Please note that this is a 1966 model 911.

Here's a poor amateur explanation with poor english...:
The pedal moves a rod that goes straight to the brake cylinder. Below the car there's something that looks like a pressure valve of some kind that has two wires connected to it. According to my understanding brake fluid goes through this valve and when a certain pressure is received it connects the two wires and TADAA! the two nice lights have been illuminated.

Let's get to the stupid question:
Ok. If... repeat... IF my theory is right (is it???), does the air from the brake system need to be sucked away when replacing this mysterious valve? Does this gizmo have a name (just out of my curiosity)?

My insurance for this summer starts at April 12th and that's when I intend to have my beauty running!!! Unfortz there's still quite a lot of snow around this part of the globe
