I found a spot for the valve, now I have to wait for a buddy to come over and bend and flare new line

That should work. I'm sure its fine with manual brakes. My bore might be different- it just looks identical to mine. Let us know how it turns out.

Ok, got the lines bent and flared, that's all set. I start to "bench" bleed the brakes on the car and the rod is making a clunking sound now, looks like the rod is too short. I re-used the rod hat was on the last master cylinder. Also noticed that the brake doesn't come in contact with the brake light switch now too.

Edit: you think this will solve my problem? http://www.speedwaymotors.com/SSBC-U...Kit,50351.html

Ok, I orderd up the above mentioned pushrod, hopefully that solves my problem.

Rene,

I have in the past modified my stock rods depending on application. What MC are you using again and booster?

Ok, got the adjustable pushrod in yesterday and got it installed. still had the clunking problem, it ended up being the cap that goes onto the master cylinder that the pushrod passes through, I'm thinking to keep it in place, well there are reliefs on the top and bottom for the pushrod to easily move through at angles, but I had the reliefs going side to side, which didn't allow the pushrod to get the angle it needed. I finally removed the boot that was covering it to figure it out. I can't believe I took that damn thing off about 6 times, and each time I put it on the wrong way. Doesn anyone even know what that cap is called?

anyway, got that fixed FINALLY, and got the master cylinder bled. I'm now waiting for a friend to come over and help me bleed all four corners.

on a side note, I will be working diligently tonight and tomorrow replacing the plenum pan and gasket on the 5.9 in my Ram. so no firebird work this weekend.

I NEED HELP, cause I'm getting very aggravated! I bench bled the master cylinder, bent new lines to the prop valve, and hooked it all up. now I'm onto bleeding the brakes. I'm starting at the passenger rear. I borrowed a buddies nice mac tools one man bleeder, the kind you hook a air compressor to. I CAN NOT get a good amount of fluid to come out. its basically a very small amount of fluid with a **** ton of air bubbles, then I get nothing, this thing should be draining my master cylinder, and its not. WTF could be the problem.

Rene, tried traditional method? Also are you running a prop valve, and are you keeping an eye on the MC fluid level? Note you are going to get a lot of air out until the lines are full.

I normally do traditional two person bleeding. Did you also bleed the MC on a bench or on the car?

Gui

I tried traditional by myself, water bottle filled with fluid and a hose into it, with the same results. I am keeping an eye on the fluid level, it doesn't really seem to budge. I bench bled the master in the car. I must have screwed something up. Very frustrated!!!

How does the pedal feel when pressed, drops to floor fast, or holds some pressure\spongy?

What MC are you using again? And no prop valve or residual valve correct?

on the MC bleed on the car did you use an old line back to reservoir and pumpd until no more bubbles?

I would start by checking at the MC seems could be the culprit.
