Yes, what you need to fix the brake problems forever is to convert to vacuum brakes like already suggested. I did it about 17 years ago. The only thing I've done to maintain them is change the pads and shoes when needed. Here is a link for everything you need in a complete kit to convert from...

Very nice car.

You could always convert the 85 with an 86/87 donor car. And keep all 3. If not sell the 85 and keep the 86/87 cars.

Really? I've always had that box checked since the first time i seen it. I can't even find the political forum to post in it!! It shouldn't be that hard of a decision to make about something. If you don't want a political forum to be here,get rid of it and be done with it. But don't hide it!

Had the same thing happen once. Turned out to be the crank sensor. I guess i got lucky with that, it only took about 15 minutes for me to come to the conclusion that it was the crank sensor. I just happened to have a spare one with me and was back up and running after installing it. I had...

Great gas mileage!!! Enjoy it. :cool:
