Rear brakes are adjusted out to where I cant even turn the drum. I planned on adjusting them back out a turn or two to keep the shoes from...
ray, you would be correct in bore size. Itd be nice if it was just that easy.. but its not. I have already made this setup work and it works...

To give you a better idea of what I plan on trying.. The master has a ball (far right on the small pushrod) the slips in the master and it...
Thanks tman. I used a 1 inch bore master out of a 77 C10. I got a lot more break pedal now then before. I still feel like there might be a...
Thanks for the reply. Now for clarification, did you just use the bolt or did you couple it to the original pushrod? Using 3/4 grade 8 and 1/4...
Need some brainstorming with someone who might of had the same problems... I am using an 88 s10 pedal assembly and clutch master cylinder. Ive...
Thanks for chiming in TR i get the feeling you know more then just motors.... I really aapreciate that you explain things to me instead of just...
Cool... Any truth in the statement above about not needing a prop valve? I am now going to try using a 77 c10 manual master. Also, for...
Good question rusty newyorker. Anyway to reset it? Can I locked it open so I can bleed it?
mgtstumpy. What year do you think I would need then? I am about to order a 77 Chevy C10.. Comes with a pushrod, but I have an adjustable one...
Great info to know. Thanks for letting me learn and just not out right bashing me.
Thanks for that info. That is exactly what I am going to do. Ill let you know how it turns out tomorrow.
I just looked up that master cylinder... How would that master be plumbed in? It looks like the back (firewall side) is the larger sized...
Yeah, kinda made an ass out of myself on the build process. Ill never live that choke line down. But shit, young and dumb and learning. Thats my...
I did find in the last go around that I have it plumbed wrong, I have the primary (small reservoir) plumbed to the front brakes and the secondary...
The bore size of the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders should be a non issue in this. The part numbers on the camaro for power or manual are...
The bore size for both the camaro and the corvette manual master are a 1 inch bore... I know this, but I don't know what port the front brakes...
The 74 master does not have a deep hole to hold the pushrod. They used cup retainers that I don't have and cannot not find one to buy.
I had a thread a while back citing all my troubles trying to convert my power brakes to manual brakes but the thread got stale and there was...
Good clean welding area, Im talking REALLY clean, no fish-eye metal, and a good ground clamp thats also clamped to a really nice and clean place....

Cool.. well unfortunately I still have a list of things that have to be done before its on the road. Are there anything I should do or should not...
The manual master cylinder bore for a nova/camaro, which is what my front and rear brakes are from is a 1 inch bore, that is why I choose that...
Holy sheet I think I know what my problem is. Rookie mistake I guess. I plumbed in the prop valve the same way that the original master was...
Absolutely. I plan on running up the motor to temperature several times before I call the break in good. I will do this and report back my...
Thanks for the input.. ill do a search and see what i come up with on both subjects. Thanks again.
Also, I think maybe the larger diameter bore might be for the low drag front brake calipers... And I am using the regular 1 piston type from the...
Alright fellas. I have replaced the master with no change in pedal pressure. So I went and did some research. I found out that for the pedal...
Finally got the motor running solid. Still need to tune it but atleast its running on its own. Here is a video.. http://youtu.be/cnHJLcFcvG0...
