I'm not sure and checking on that - I didn't think so when I inspected it before hand I did not notice any sort of adjustment within the unit. I would think if the pushrod was of the wrong length it would not have allowed me to bleed it on the vehicle and drive around for 10 minutes before...

Rained hard all night. I already had concerns with flooding in this room back here (my office). From about 12:00 until 2:30 I was mopping up water and laying down towels to attempt to keep the incoming water under control. 5 gallon bucket of water and all of my towels in the house later I...

Oooh, my office is flooding. From the slab!

Also checking for new hoses for the booster while I am out. They looked ok but they might as well be replaced if I can find something comparable without having to order, its a rubber vacuum hose...it can't be that hard to replicate can it?

Put the car up and removed the master from the brake booster - pedal motion returns. So the master is seized up. I've had as much fun as I can handle today. Back out in the morning to see if I can 'un stuck' it. OReilly's has the master as of this afternoon and the GF is taking the day off...

I'm thinking its a stuck caliper. Running to the store for dinner - car should be cool and dry (holy shit it rained again yay) by then and I'll see what's up.

First test drive was not successful. Made it around the block twice, brakes felt good - clutch needs more pressure. Third go around and the brake pedal became stiff and felt like it was locked down - let off gas and the car slows. E-Brake on/off car had its brakes locked. Letting everything...

Ok got the girlfriend to lend a foot. Worked as intended and as you described. 4 or 5 times on each line just to be sure, both ends. Bleeding all the calipers again and I'll give it another test.

So no luck with bleeding in car with the pipes on, well the rear one that's been my pain. Loosen loosen loosen no leak then it popped out and I had to pull everything back out again. Everything is back together, car starts up. I will need to bleed both systems some more - clutch is not...

Good new is the threads are not fucked (yay) and it was still the angle of the pipe preventing the threads from aligning. I did place the old pipe in where it should go just to see what it looked like in comparison - the same sharp "No fucking way that's going in" angle present. I'll try and...

I think I'll try that next. I know they fit at one point because I made sure to test - so it was probably something I did inadvertently at some point. Right now I need to not work on the car for an hour or so, heh.

Ever seen a grown man cry? Ordered another master, Oreilly's should have it tomorrow by 8:30. Only thing I can think of is the end of the brake pipe rode up the threads? I dunno. But yea it fucking sucks.

And the threads on the master are fucked - second pipe does not thread in. Second pipe threads into old master.

Pulled everything off - tried a true bench bleed - made a mess trying to get it installed - cussed a whole lot and cleaned up the mess. Re-installed master and did an in car bench bleed again. Got one of the pipes seated and finger tightened, until not, on both ends. Still dicking with the...

So I got the tubes situated, performed a 'bench bleed' while the master was installed. Essentially ran some tubing with rubber fitting pressed into the out pipes that ran back to the reservoir - pumping the fluid back into its self while maintaining fluid level. The brake tubes are formed out...

This should suffice for now for the battery cable. Having no knowledge of where these wires ran after going into the loom (I think I found the other end) and second guessing the flames and heat in the engine bay to solder the wires I took a single line repair kit, dual here for example I...

I gave up finding flare nuts - Everywhere I went the threading was too small to physically screw in the master. I guess I'll have to find the whitepaper for the thing - I haven't seen anything about the dimensions of the thing. The brake pipes I ordered are set to arrive tomorrow sometime so I...

Got the nipple (giggity) out and will just use the new pipe, keep the older one just in case, I was able to securely seat the nipple back on the end. Emailed about the brake pipes - had to order them and will ship out middle of next week....yay. Second guessing my DIY cable splice - I need...

To add some more fun my slave line nipple popped off in the cylinder. I can either try the old one and hope is still seals or try and get the end out. Brake booster in, cleaned out my reservoir and installed that to master and master to booster, pedal all back together. Was working my way...

Haha! I had everything ready to and was ready to flare when I realized I did not have the end on. No still not sorted - the fittings don't screw in, they just "go in" and pull right back out so they are slightly too small. I'll be honest I have no idea what I'm looking for on these and have...
