Re: [Chevelle-list] Brakes - 65 Chevelle
Ok, Dumb question, but by any chance have you taken off the front calipers? I accidentally mixed mine up when I took them off to paint, and put them back on the wrong sides. This put the bleeder at a higher point than should be. Let's just say I couldn't get them to bleed, and it took me longer than I want to admit to figure it out.

Have disks on the front (early camaro) and stock drums on the rear. Installed a new 8" brake booster and master cylinder, and a Tilton prop, valve on the rear brakes. After bleeding the brakes I still can't get sufficient pressure to the fronts even with the rears restricted 100% (valve all the way in) to get acceptable front braking. The front calipers are single piston. It all worked before I installed the booster. It has good vacuum. Any suggestions? Copy Dave Larry Williams
Re: [Chevelle-list] Brakes - 65 Chevelle =2
hey larry the front of the master cylinder goes to front brakes, and the rear to the rear, booster size is not your culprit, check your lines, if not new, one might be pinch, or plug up

Where is this restrictor in the drum/drum? - Original Message - From: Wayne To: Larry Williams ; The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Brakes - 65 Chevelle Larry willimas wrote "It all worked before I installed the booster" did you add a new master cylinder ? If you did make sure it's a disk./drum master.. you can also remove the ristrictor in the disk master cyl. chamber. if it is in fact a drum/ drum configured master cylinder..

Re: [Chevelle-list] Brakes - 65 Chevelle =2
The bigger of the 2 reservoir is the front brakes usually the back. But you probably have 2 of the same size I am guessing. - Original Message - From: Larry Williams To: Chevelle-list Cc: David Hillberry Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 6:57 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Brakes - 65 Chevelle =2 Real dumb question. I have the rear reservoir on the master cylinder feeding the front brakes. Is this wrong?
