[Chevelle-list] Master Cylinder

[Peter Hnat]

It is a power assisted master cylinder. I've talk to several members of
the car club I belong to and they take their cars to a local repair shop
for work. They are extremely satisfied with their work and said that
would be the place to go. They are also into muscle cars big time. So
that being said ,I'm going to have the car towed over there and have
them fix the problem. I already spoke to the mechanic and he is looking
for a new master cylinder and not a rebuilt one. I'm also going to have
him flush the brake lines and put in freash brake fluid.

 

Thanks,

  Agree with Dan, that some rebuilders do a better job than others.
But also, while you have it apart, check that your parts are compatible.
The only thing that I can think of would be a mismatch between the push
rod & M/C.   And I don't think that it would go together with incorrect
parts....but it might.   Also are you using the correct push rod hole in
the brake pedal assembly?     There might also be other things that
could effect longevity.

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.

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.
