I have the original cylinders. I am going to rebuild. One of the bleeders broke off, I was able to drill it out. I am going to tap it and put a slightly larger bleeder in.

Awesome, thanks Gerald for all the info and links!!!

Think I found the problem. The brand new Centric brand china's finest wheel cylinders were both leaking in the rear. Would one might know a better brand i could try?

Yes, I bench bled the master. I changed all the brake hoses, all the steal lines as well. Changed all the wheel cylinders, all the hardware, all the brake shoes and had the drums turned. I adjusted the brakes out further and re-bleed. The pedal doesn't sink all the way to the floor now but it...

So i swapped out the MC with the Bendix one i got from Priate Jack. Still have a very soft pedal all the way to the floor. I rolled back and forth on my driveway, it stops but not very good and with maximum effort. Next plan of action is to bleed again.

Thanks Gerald! Your write up here is what inspired me to change my single pot MC to dual. I have manual drum brakes on all four corners. Reusing the original push rod.

Thanks Alrui, I'll swap it out. I have a spare bendix but it does not have a groove for the rod, does that mater?

Help please. I replaced my single pot master with a dual reservoir one from a 67. Couldn't get the brakes to bleed with a vacuum so I had my daughter help me pump. That seem to work good bleed with no bubbles. Went to try and back the car out of the drive way and had very little braking with...

How do I replace that seal?

Got it. Thanks Big John!
