[Chevelle-list] Chevelle-list Digest, Vol 59, Issue 43

Wed Jun 25 20:08:34 MDT 2008

I joined & was not interested in testing products.? The magazine is OK & membership is inexpensive but they keep sending that damn Life member kit every few months & I keep sending it back.? I'm not sure I'm even still paying for the magazine but it keeps coming along with the Life member offers.? Plenty of other quality clubs & publications out there.? No time for them ALL!!!?

I was a member for a year they sent me some window wipe thing to test. I filed it 14. The mag is pretty good and informative, I just never renewed my membership, too many other things to worry about.

Yes I do belong. Have not become lifetime yet, but if I do, they will refund all previous dues paid. I have had my gas reimbursed a couple of times, (Has paid for membership) and had a couple of test products. One was a 'Rain x' type thing and other was a caulk gun thing. Both pretty cheap things. Never got more gas coupons after emailng twice and have yet to receive a third test product. Was good for a while then stopped? The mag is pretty good though.

When you bleed your brakes that button must be pressed in during bleeding operation and released when finished.

That proportioning valve looks 
exactly like the one I took out for the 4 wheel drum and does not have any 
button but the new one which mounts just below and to the right of the resivior 

is longer and has a button on the front. I will take a pic and send it . thanks,

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.

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

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.
