Hullo All, Many years ago I had a similar problem with the master cylinder and found that the rod from the pedal to the MC was bent causing the piston assembly to move out of line scouring the seals. Perhaps?

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. Godspeed, Dan Solomon It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Hnat To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 10:57 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Master Cylinder 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. Pete Hnat Apex, NC '69 Chevelle SS
