master cly woes
Hi, I'm new to the Tbird forum but not to car repairs. I changed my brakes over because of safty reasons. with the daul cylinder you don't loose all of brakes if one side fails or gets a leak. My frist car is a tbucket built from scrach. learned about the brakes on this the frist time. When replacing master cylinder if front brakes are disc, a 2psi check valve is required down stream in brake line. The rear brakes requires the proportion valve and if using drums on rear a 10psi check valve, or 2 psi if using disc. Open proportion valve all the way open. Test drive somewhere safe! Close the proportion valve slowly forcing more fluid to front brakes until they feel correct. Front brakes take the blunt of stopping the car. Once proportion valve is ajusted brakes should be OK, may need to tweek them a little while fine tunning. But should be well worth it, only not original. Buster53
