Last post on this one - M/C has been changed again and this one works correctly. All problems have been resolved. Thank you to all who...
same size - 1 inch
Nothing is ever simple is it? So, I installed a new Master Cylinder after bench bleeding it. Then I bled the front calipers and drove it a bit...
This is my problem. I removed the lid and stepped on the brake many times and never got ANY movement of the fluid. NONE. So, unplugging the vents...
IIRC, I unbolted the M/C and pulled it forward enough to measure the pushrod length and then the depth of the hole it goes into. Measurements...
I had previously checked pushrod length and it was ok, but where are these 'vent holes' you mention? How would I get to them?
Pulled and plugged brake booster vacuum line - went driving around the neighborhood and brought it back home. Once in the shop, It would not roll...
In my mind, the 'cheapest first' would be to disable the booster and road test, so that is my focus. Good advice tho- thank you.
Alright yall. Yep, I am still working on this. Sorry for the ‘dead zone’ intervals. I’m still dealing with cancer and sometimes I just don’t feel...
The more I consider what everyone has said, I am right at removing the master cylinder to check it out and see if I can get a rebuild kit for it,...
OK, so this morning I decided to do a bit of investigation. I did not take the car out driving. It seemed to me that just pushing the brake pedal...
Makes sense, but how could I tell if it does?
Now this makes sense. I was talking thru my hat, 'cause I have never done one...but running lines back into the reservoir and getting the bubbles...
Fellas, this is exactly why I come in here- experience. In my 50-odd years of messing with cars, I have never had a brake hose go bad, so it...
Hey y’all. Here I am with more brake troubles…but on a different car. Here is the setup: 1950 Ford, discs in front drums in rear. Hanging pedal...
I hear what you guys are saying, but I swear to you, I have done countless master cylinder replacements and have never bled them on the bench....
You could assume it- but it would not be true. I did not bench bleed it..
So, I took the car out to a show Saturday and I still don't have a "firm" pedal, but I have run into something else that might need to be known....
38bill... I am using a pressure pot so there's a learning curve there.. Also, you said "flushed the system"- let's pretend that I want to go back...
Fellas. this is exactly what I was looking for- thank you!! Yes,,I bled the DOT3 out of the system before I loaded DOT5; however, I am guilty of...
Hey y’all. I need some feedback from those who have experience with Dot 5 brake fluid. Background is that I was using Dot 3 and found myself...
OK, so I have a 1934 Ford that is using 1948 drums, backing plates and master cylinder. I made a mounting bracket (will try to add a pic) and have...
Thanks for all ,... well, most of the replies. Now, for my nest trick, I will dress up MY motor in a way that some of YOU will be pleased...or...
Anyone have an idea what I could use to turn the intake back to aluminum color? [ATTACH]
Well, ain't that something. I am a born n bred Memphian from Frayser, which is now "The Hood". I moved to Jackson in 2000 and then to Murfreesboro...
Thank you lostin51. It was my high school car back in 1972. 6 lives later, it is at this point. What part of TN are you in?
I'm in 50 Crestliner with a 1965 Chevy 396 motor. [ATTACH]
Ok, y’all. This post is meant for those who have been patiently waiting to find out how things worked out with my 34’s engine…so here we go. What...
filters? A couple of those teapot types...too small, I know, but I don't have any bigger ones to put on it.
Not sure how since it is a vented tank...unless this is some of that sarcasm that was mentioned earlier... Some seem to have issues with using...
