I've had some leak issues with this mc anyway - so I guess my dual mc project will just have to happen sooner than I wanted it to.

a dual master cyclinder only cost 20.00 no biggy, but you will need a proportioning valve and some new line...

Jocko,

Might crack one of the bleeder valves and see if it releases brake pressure. I know that the system can lock up if the brake pedal rod is adjusted too tight, but I know you didn't change that. Just a thought.

I already have a 67 C10 dual mc to put into it. No prop valve required since it's a drum/drum setup. So that's probably what I'm going to install. TBD if I install the booster at this point. Already have Capt Fab's bracket, so I believe I will now that I have the 3-on-the-tree linkage out of the way with the T5 installed. Just in time!
