Master Cylinder Question

[Vince@Meanstreets]

I almost forgot.

How are your brake lines arranged coming out of the master? Front port to front brakes? Rear port to rear brakes? Sorry, gotta ask.

Yes they are. The rear calipers are from a C5 Corvette. Not sure about the air gap but I can assure it is minimal. This was a manual conversion. I have checked my pedal ratio (6 to 1).

Thanks,

Sorry, so this is power to manual or man to pow?

6:1 (approx 2" from pivot shaft)is the top hole for a manual master rod.

How are you bench bleeding the master cylinder? Recirculation or plugged port method? It sounds like you might still have air in the piston assembly for the rear brakes.

Now that winter has arrived, I'll blow the dust off of this thread. The bleeding method is recirculation. I am going to change the rear hose on the car to see where that takes me. I have also since, changed the rear calipers to a Seville type caliper (smaller caliper for smaller wheels).
I have also been considering changing to a manual master cylinder. I currently have a CPP offset booster and frankly, am not too impressed with it (binds up when things are properly tightened). Ill update when I change the rear hose.

Thanks,

Tim
