    Master cylinder pushrod questions..

    I know you can buy an "adjustable" push rod that fits vintage mustangs for people that want to remove the power booster from their brakes, but they're not cheap. http://www.mustangunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=A21161+01

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    The bleeder kit I bought from NAPA didn't have any plastic plugs. Where did you get yours?

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    Thanks for the confirmation about the pedal pressure. I assumed that there was no fluid motion on the rear brake reservoir because 1) I could see a lot of fluid motion on the front brake reservoir, 2) when I disconnected both bleed hoses, brake fluid dripped out of only the front reservoir...

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    Still need help with bleeding the MC I returned and got another brand new MC but I still have the same problem. The reservoir for the rear brakes doesn't seem to be bleeding correctly. It almost seems as though the plunger is not going back far enough. I'm still bleeding the MC on the car...

    Bleeding Brakes

    I would think a "hissing" sound would be an indication of a leak. I had bought a new straight double flared brake line that had the flare poorly done and it caused a leak in my brake lines. Careful examination showed that the end of the flare was at a diagnol and not flush with the mating surface.

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    I did another "bench bleed" last night while the MC was still on the car. I could see one or two bubbles in the rear brake reservoir (with the bleed tube returned to the reservoir) but no fluid movement . The front brake reservoir had a lot of fluid movement. (Actually, I found that doing...

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    When I first pumped the brakes, all the bleed valves were closed. After that, I tried everything I could think of and still no fluid out of the rear port of the MC.

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    I recently put in a brand new master cylinder in my 67 Mustang. I first bench bled it and that went OK. I then connected all the brake lines and gravity bled the system. That also went OK. I had a leak in one of the metal connections so I tightened it and then pressed the brake pedal a few...

    Machine Shop Phoenix

    The Copperstate Mustang Club has a Parts & Service directory that members of the club have used and recommended. You can go to their website and take a look at it but they currently only list 4 in the east valley. In case you can't find one in metro Phoenix, this might be another option...

    Finished the scarebird conversion, a few notes.

    Thanks for clearing up the confusion.

    It's all connected, just a bad angle. Attached is a better picture and a cutaway view for anyone interested in seeing what the inside looks like. Thanks for the additional info and the link.

    The attached picture is of my so called "distribution block". The attached drawings are from a 67 Ford Mustang shop manual. The shop manual called it a "Pressure Differential Valve". I'm not sure what a proportioning valve looks like so please, educate me. :shrug:

    You mentioned "need to bleed the system better next time". I'll probably run into the same problem you encountered with the distribution block when I do my conversion, so, how would you recommend that I do the bleeding differently so as not to end up with a stuck plunger?

    Thanks for your input. I'll probably start my conversion soon.

    I read the same thing in a mustang manual last night. How did your Scarebird conversion go on your 67? I'm considering doing the Scarebird conversion too but I have the original 14" styled wheels on my 67. Which means that the rotors would have to be machined to fit.

    Finished the scarebird conversion, a few notes.

    I was thinking of doing the same thing with my 67 mustang but I had a concern about your capping of the distribution block. I'm sure some of the readers can clarify this but my limited understanding of the distribution block is that in the event of a failure of either the front or rear brake...

    A/C not running Cold

    Sorry about the "Hot Shot" question. I should have read the link you provided first. :bang:

    A/C not running Cold

    I will look for the paper work on the Compressor and Receiver/Dryer to see what the BTU rating is. Where would you buy a conderser and evaporator that has enough capacity for a R134 system and still fit the same mounting holes? What exactly is "Hotshot" and is this legal? Thanks for the...
