As I said earlier, I moved to Oregon and the car is still in NC. I really appreciate the offers of help, and if I could get back there I would...
You know it's funny you say that Pharouh. There was a debate on here about my wheels because I wanted to go black steel. And I was told that only...
Appreciate all the help folks. Unfortunately I've moves to Oregon and had to leave my car behind. It's currently for sale in NC, but if it doesn't...
Thanks for the replies guys.going to go look at this now
Fuels fresh from the pump, been daily driving the car since August. I will try to check the fuel float levels later today. May be time for that...
well it wasn't just sitting the whole time. It did get started fairly frequently through a lot, but not all that time. Just wasn't driven more...
Apparently when you let you car sit for 3 years, you'd better be prepared for some problems when you start driving again. So when ever I really...
Car is finally back on the road! The end result problem was both front wheel cylinders. I guess they were holding up with my tired old master but...
Well the front wheel cylinders are extremely hard to get to without a socket, so we made our own device up and used the tube and catch bottle this...
Fleetliner, I am moving to Roseburg Oregon. However, the car won't be making it out there is my fiance has anything to say about it. I'm about as...
We adjusted all the brakes so they were dragging. With the back unclamped and front clamped the pedal dropped down some With the back clamped and...
Unfortunately, I had brakes and now I don't. I tried clamping off all the lines and I got a nice high pedal. Upon taking any of the 3 clamps off,...
Hoop, you're the man by the way. Had I paid for quality parts in the first place, none of this would have likely happened.
Alright ^ the above theory was incorrect. Apparently the Booster to MC pin was incorrect. When I removed the MC from the booster with the lid off,...
I think I may have just figured out my own problem. I'm theorizing that if the diaphragm is slightly expanded than I may not have enough play in...
Alright folks, I'm gonna try some more things when I get time, tonight or tomorrow. Dark out right now so that makes things difficult. This was a...
On my application, I moved the rod to the pedal down to the lower notch on the pedal. My pedal now bottoms out about and inch or 2 before hitting...
budd, I am really thinking that excessive air is the problem. Thats why I want to use the compressed air type of bleeder just to get the fluid...
Hoop, we have had the master cylinder off and upon taking it off I did not see bubbles. Again, this was a kit, booster and MC and while it's...
in case anyone was wondering, it was the brass float that was bad. It was half filled with fuel. Not sure why the temperature affected it so much,...
Yes everything is adjusted properly, brakes worked fine prior to this. This was supposed to be an upgrade. Even with new lines being installed, is...
Just to clarify, I meant distribution block, not a proportioning valve.
we took the MC off and brought it to someone to make sure we weren't doing something wrong. Apparently we were bleeding it correctly but were...
Ok, so I disconnected both lines from the MC and pushed the pedal down. Fluid shoots out of the front bowl but nothing comes out of the back. What...
Tried the bench bleeding process with the MC on the car. Everything seemed to work as it should. So that means my problem lies beyond the MC and...
I do not have one because it's a drum drum setup. The people at CPP said I don't need one, to just plumb the lines directly.
That's a good Idea with the bleeder hoses, I'll try that. Also, if a hose or line does have a leak, is it possible for it to pull air in without...
Yes that's how we were bleeding the brakes Also used the handheld pump that creates it's own pressure, you crack the bleeder for a second or so...
the pin is adjusted on the pedal so that it's all the way out in it's resting position, if that makes sense. We did bench bleed with those little...
