[Chevelle-list] brake conversion

[Larry Hickman]

  I had the same problem when I did my '71. It ended up that there was a build-up of rust behind the bleed valves on the rear drums. I was able to use a small wire to break the rust loose and bleed them as they should. Good luck.

  I converted from drum to disk up front with a kit from ground up (THE RIGHT STUFF product) and I cant get the original rear drums to bleed . is there something with the distrabution block that I was supposed to do ? I followed the directins as I understood them.I will call them tomorrow but am anxious, Jimmy.C

              Did you bench bleed the master cylinder first? Does your proportioning valve have a button on the front? If so depress that first.

   Does the prop valve look like this one:  http://www.inlinetube.com/images/Prop%20Valves/pr106.jpg   that is the button on the left.      My GM service manual (for 72) says that button needs to be pushed in when bleeding rear brakes.   They have an explaination, but honestly its been so long that I can't remember the details.   Something to do with the auto shut off of fluid (safety feature)  if you get a leak at either the front or rear I think.
