I don't blame the kit much for the my difficulties it was purchased from Early Classic. I have have purchased a few things from them and have no complaints. The leaky rear cylinder was a problem but it has been changed only to find out the master cylinder (2nd one EC sent me)is a screwed up again. I most likely caused some of the problems by not knowing how important the rod adjustment was(I am not sure that it was pointed out in the instruction). I believe the master cylinders were damaged by the rod being to long. As for the porp valve I am not sure what caused its problem. Anyway Wedsnesday I took it to a local shop and they discovered many of the things I couldn't. It will not be ready until Monday and it may well be the most expensive brake job on a 69 c10 in history(I do not know the cost yet). I should have had someone more experienced with braking system help me out. Oh Well WTF I will be driving it home on Monday so there is a bright side.

Thanks
