Drunk impulse purchases

[DCEPTCN]

Man, every so often it'll be late night and I'm drunk and I accidentally see that Musician's Friend catalog on the coffee table. Before I know it, I'll have dialed their 800 number and I've got them on the phone. I always have to go out on the porch or something so the wife doesn't wake up and go "WTF are doing?!" The saga of my search for a powermaster met another dead end yesterday when I got an email from Autozone informing me that my order has been cancelled because their powermasters are out of stock indefinitely.. ....well, a few beers later I decided 'fuck that dumb spoiled car' and started flippin' through the M.F. catalog on a mission to spend that powermaster money on something else. 20 minutes later, $450 was gone. I decided to shop their cheapy shit and get a lot of stuff for little money. The Rogue guitars that they sell, I'm sure, are crap- but for the price, hell I'll give this stuff a shot......I mean, $139 for a 5 string bass?! How can you go wrong with that? So, a 5 string bass, an accoustic/electric dreadnought, a pair of powered Fostex monitors and some righteous headphones (believe me, those headphones are great shit for the price). Take that, you big black piece of Buick turd.

That's something I've always wanted to look into, but considered it a 'ricer' thing to do....y'know, putting serious racing equipment on my slow POS.

Why not just get a power brake system like all the other cars on the road use? I am going to look into that right after I get the car registered.

I've got a Powermaster out of a Caprice wagon if you want to try it?
Do you still have your original brake pedal assy ?

Still got all the old stuff except the grey switch, lol- where'd that go?  :rofl;

You're far more of a mechanic thatn me.....so tell me, is the Caprice thing the same?

[Recklessrob]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will work even though they look a little different.

My first concern would be variances in pivot points, but if this is off of a similar year Caprice, it should be mounting to the same spot on an almost identical firewall, no?

Damn dog, next thing you need to buy is a clone of yourself!!!

I wish that I knew what the hell you're talking about.

So you can play bass and guitar at the same time!

The power monster was from a customer's '86 Caprice wagon. I had replaced
it for him about 3 years ago because the old one was blowing the 30 amp fuse.
Unfortunately the rest of the car rusted away around it. So when he said he was going to junk it, I asked if I could grab the PM.
