Re: [Chevelle-list] master cylinder
Morning Chum and Jim, I also own a 65 Malibu as well as a 1974 Australian/South African Chevrolet Kommando “A” body. The The bodies are similar and the Kommando comes out with a Bendix steering system. So my gut feel is to go with the Bendix.

I personally haven't had any problems with Cardones' products. I used to work at a local speed shop/ parts store that deals thier products and rarely had any problems/ returns with them. I have used thier calipers and so far 6 years later they are holding up. But you know how the reman business is or for that matter the parts business as a whole sometimes you just get a bad part.

Re: [Chevelle-list] master cylinder bench bleeding
I always take extra line, screw them into the master cylinder, then bend them up and into the reservoir, so that the ends of these lines are submerged in the reservoir. Fill up the master cylinder with fluid, making sure the ends of the lines are submerged. Put the master cylinder in a vise, and push on the piston part of it with a screwdriver. You'll see bubbles come out from the lines...keep going and going and going and going(haha) untill no more air comes out. You could do this on the car also...which is what I did. That way you can just step on the brake pedal. But then you'd need somebody else to tell you when the bubbles stop. Pretty easy to do really.

For some reason that just reads funny, Mike. LOL Additionally, the master is not fully stroked when mounted, therefore cannot be bleed as well as on the bench. Mike _ avast!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Master cylinder port assignment
Thanks Brian and Ron This is consistent with everything I've found out about OE master cylinders. FYI, however, mine is an aftermarket part and SSBC, who manufactured it, verified to me via phone this am that front was front and rear was rear. The reservoirs and ports are the same size. As far as I can tell the location ( and hence sequencing/timing) of the pistons in the bore does however vary. I'm actually relieved as my brakes were doing weird things, even though this means I will need to run new lines as each takes a different size fitting. I know I could have used an adapter but I like doing this stuff the hard way.

Is there a standard assignment for brake ports out of the master cylinder? I just found that I had it backwards for one of my cars (after consulting with SSBC) and so I am in the process of correcting it. According to SSBC (and logically, I guess) the front port is for the front brakes and the rear for the rear. No simple matter, as different size fittings are used. Rather than use adapters I opted to replace the lines with new ones with the proper fittings. Now I am wondering whether my other car, which is similarly hooked up with the front port for the rear brakes, and the rear for the front, is backwards and should be likewise switched. I am looking forward to a hugh improvement in braking and, though my second car stops well, if I can improve the brakes with a couple of lines and a little time, why not?

Gary, Does it have something to do with the drum diameter. I remember when I rebuilt the front brakes on the 65, I kept getting asked the drum diameter. Worth a shot.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Master cylinder replacement
Metallic linings are a rare bird, and most have long since been refitted to organic. The metallic lining uses a series of 4 (IIRC) sintered iron pads on the brake shoe. They use a lined drum to reduce the wear. I believe the MC bore is a different size because you needed more force to stop the sucker, especially when the shoes were cold. If your brake shoes look like a normal shoe, you have the exc. HD metallic. That would be my guess. I had a 66 many years ago with the OE metal, and it was a two footed stop on a cold morning.

RE: [Chevelle-List] master cylinder mania
Here in Canada, at least, rebuilt master cylinders are very much cheaper than all-new models. For example, I got a new one for $140, where there rebuilt one was offered at $50. The quality workmanship of the rebuilt one was poor, and that of the new one was much better. Dave. I really don't know.

RE: [Chevelle-List] master cylinder mania
Makes sense to me. He did say that these are new. The reason he is offering them cheap is because they are NOS, which means to him that they have been taking up shelf space for a long time and he hasn't sold one in years. Of course to one of us it might mean something completely different. BTW he is going through all of the inventory and soon we will have pre-bent exhaust pipes galore and tons of brake drums/rotors. His family owns 2 stores, one of which opened in 1929 and another that was originally a Pontiac dealership until his dad bought the building in the 60s and converted it to a parts store. To him these old parts are somewhat of a nuisance because they are taking up space and he doesn't get any call for them.
