It has to be in the master ? air or could the piston stroke be dodgy? Wilwood lists 1.10 inches .. so how much is sufficient ?- Note -- this camaro has been converted to RHD in Australia and the pedal box is foreign to the car.




You have a BAD master cylinder.... swap it out.

Agreed - It's sounding like a bad seal on the piston. I believe Wilwood has a rebuild kit available.
