[Chevelle-list] Master Cylinder

[Johann Grobler]

Hullo All,

Many years ago I had a similar problem with the master cylinder and found that the rod from the pedal to the MC was bent causing the piston assembly to move out of line scouring the seals.  Perhaps?

  I installed one on my car during the restoration process that went bad before I even had a chance to drive the car. It really threw me because you expect a new part to work. I would try a different brand. Maybe one of the companies out there is doing a better rebuild job than the rest.
  Make sure you bench bleed the MC before you install it.

  Godspeed,

  It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry

    Looking  for some advice/help regarding the master cylinder on my
    Chevelle. I've had the car for three years now and have gone thru 3
    master cylinders in that time. The original one lasted about a month
    after I bought the car. The replacement one lasted about 10 months. The
    replacement for the replacement lasted about a year and half. It is a
    little nerve wracking taking the car out for a drive on a Sunday and
    wondering if the brakes will fail!! Any advice will be greatly
    appreciated.
