I checked the pedal/rod and it has about a quarter inch of slack, I also made sure that the little rod coming out of the booster that pushes the master does have a bit of slack also. I tried the brakes again and forgot to sit the cover back on the master and noticed that when I press the pedal...

Good idea, I'll check for the pedal slack. How do you bench test as master? Putting plugs in the outlets and bleeding them?[S Frankr !934 Dodge 392 Hemi

Help, what is wrong here?? I installed a new frame rail mounted brake pedal kit, comes with with a new Corvette master cylinder and booster. Can't get a good brake pedal, it goes to the floor but will build up a little bit of pedal pressure if I pump it very very fast! The car has 4 wheel...

The rear end in my buddy's 39 Chev is a bit out of alignment, the driver's side wheel being 1/2" more towards the front of the car than the passenger side. We measured the frame and everything seems to be square and level. Looks like the left spring mount is located 1/4" forward and the right...

I have front and rear disc brakes and my master cylinder is mounted lower than the calipers so,I will be using 2 Lbs residual valves to prevent the brake oil returning to the master and overflow the reservoir. Do I install the valves right at the master or should they go after the proportioning...

The 2 X 4 Weiand intake on my hemi requires the use of 1" carb spacers. I would like to use 2" spacers to get more room between the carb linkages and the intake. This will make things easier to install the tranny and cruise control cables. Will the taller spacers create a tunnel ram effect and...

I need to remove the trust shaft from my 8 3/4 rear end. It's an 742 clutch type sure grip. I'm told... " no need to take it appart, just hit it with a hammer & cold chisel and it should come out"! Not really sure I want to hit anything on a rear end with a hammer & chisel! Has anyone done this...

Kelseydum, If you want more info on that hemi, go to http://www.classichemi.com/index1.shtml It has all the info you need. If its an early unit, it may have an extended bellhousing, making it a bit harder and more costly to adapt a later model transmission. FrankR 1934 Dodge 392 Hemi
