    Soft Brake Pedal.
    Couple of things to suggest Tony:
        1.    The 'bomb' , where the hydraulic pressure is developed for steering and brakes, may have a leaky diaphragm.
        2.    The flexible brake lines to the wheels are somewhat soft and can be replaced with stainless steel covered Teflon.

Good morning everyone.
I replaced my master cylinder on my 83 URQ and had the brakes bled by a professional shop. Still, the pedal is not as hard as I fell it should be. Has the URQ ever been known to have a hard brake pedal?? Also, can some point me to were I could find information on the brake booster?  I appreciate any input and thank all in advance.

Hi all!  After too many years of sitting on an AAN engine, I finally bit
the bullet and am putting it into my '82 urq.
So far, so good, albeit a few problems.

Problem 1:  I have conflict with the crank-position & engine-speed sensors
between the WX and AAN.
My 016 only has a hole at the top of the bell-housing for the engine-speed
sensor, and no room next to the crank-position sensor which sits on the
driver's side of the block.
The AAN has a single bracket that holds both sensors attached to the
driver's sit of the block, with the engine-speed sensor requiring
appropriate clearance in the transmission bell housing.

What is the standard solution here?    I see 3 options:
  A.  Try to use the Urq engine-speed sensor along with cutting the AAN
bracket to hold only the crank-position sensor (my preferred option since I
wouldn't have to remove the transmission)
  B.  Cut the side of the transmission to enable proper fit of the AAN
engine-speed sensor
  C.  Enlarge the hole at top of the 016 to accept the AAN sensor in that
016 location.  The sensors would need to extend to the same depth.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi all!  After too many years of sitting on an AAN engine, I finally bit
the bullet and am putting it into my '82 urq.
So far, so good, albeit a few problems.

Problem 2:  I am using an RS2 intake manifold and it interferes with the
power steering reservoir.
Most of the online 20vt conversion pictures use a different manifold.  E.g.
3B looks like it offers more room,
the AAN or any front-throttle-body manifold has no problem, etc.  The few
RS2-manifold pictures I have
seen don't yield any consistent approach.

Is there an urq-list-wisdom "best" solution?

Thanks,
Eric

I will send you a picture of my installation.  The Belts/AC and PS
all have to special alignment to be adjusted. I moved the PS reservoir
to where the windshield washer reservoir once resided.
