 Are you saying the engine runs fine but it won't move because the brakes a=
re holding it back?=C2=A0 What model car is it?
If it is a TR4 or some other model with a single circuit braking system and=
 all the brakes are locked up try cracking open a bleeder and see if that r=
elieves the pressure and frees up the brakes.=C2=A0 If so the master cylind=
er is likely the problem.=C2=A0=20
