A Poor Man's Master Cylinder Upgrade

[ALRUI]

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?

Not sure, maybe someone else can chime in on that. Can you exchange the CarQuest one?

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 the pedal mashed all the way to the floor. Pedal was not that firm but rather soft. Went to go check for leaks since ì replaced all the brake lines and saw that the master was leaking from the back where it mounts to the firewall.

NO doubt of it; you got a DEFECTIVE CHEAPO PRE-TARIFF PIECE DE MERDE! Go to Pirate Jack. HIS Bendix knockoffs work well, and LAST! MC1323 - 1960-1970 MOPAR A, B, E Body BENDIX 2660809 1" Bore Drum Brake Mopar Master Cylinder

I'M STILL USING the same master cylinder I purchased when I started this thread. I now drive a '68 ragtop Newport, which was equipped with power brakes, and had a leaky OLD booster, and a Dorman looking sort of master with the same sort of lid you got. Get the Pirate Jack master. They have decent stuff.
