If you are 100% sure you have a drum/drum master cylinder, you have residual valves built into the master cylinder. Do you have a firm pedal? Does it maintain it's pressure or bleed off if you keep pressure against the pedal? Do you "chase" the pedal to the floor while trying to keep cons...

If "reverse" pressure bleeding were as efficient as you stated, it would have become an industry standard. Professional pressure bleeding kits I am familiar with do not even include the adapters to fit most cylinders. Paul I guess google is a new term for you as well.. I didn't realize th...

F164; Yes I have them plumbed correctly. This is where I'm drawing a blank.. Toyz; It's much more efficient as there is no pumping. Air is pushed toward the highest point, the m/c. I have no "valves" in the system unless there is something in the m/c.... "Going with the flow" may...

Ok, I'll try to clarify.. The boosted m/c is a complete take off unit from the 73. Never separated. Bolt on affair.. Reverse bleeding is pressure bleeding from the wheel, to the m/c. Wastes less fluid, works faster/better. The "capped port"; I came from a single pot m/c which ran down to a...

I've looked at many, many posts on here about the brake upgrades and swapping 70's M/C's in and such, and I can't find a definitive answer to my problem, now that I have done the same.. I took the vac boost M/C out of a 1973 F250 4x4 that was drum all the way around. I had to modify the rod (shorten...

Hello gentlemen, I've been lurking here for some time, and finally got my '65 near the same county I'm living in so it's time start asking questions and getting a build going one direction or another.. I've got a '65 250 camper special custom cab 2x4 with 352 and 4 spd.. After it sat for the last 10...

Just got registered on the site when I saw the close posters, but I've lurked here a few times in the past. Live in Montrose now, just around the corner from GJ, but I grew up in Cortez, and sadly my truck is still sitting down there. Haven't been to Monticello in quite a while, but that may make a ...
