    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    I did go back twice on Saturday and re-bleed the brakes in that order making sure the reservoir stayed full, still having the same issue. Ordered a new prop. valve from Inline Tube and will swap it out once it arrives. In the meantime on to changing the transmission tail shaft seal (glad I...

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Correction on my part, I had not put the drums on the rear for the test (idiot). Now with the drums on light goes out when bleeder is released just like the front.

    Here is where I am at this morning. Having someone hold the brake pedal until the brake light comes on, open any of the front brake bleeders the light goes off and pedal goes to the floor. close bleeder and press brake pedal, light comes on again. For the rear brakes with the pedal pressed...

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Thought I would post the pictures before I get started, @jbc426 and @4mulas. Let me know if you think the calipers should come off to bleed. Also sent a couple rear brake pictures incase something looks off. I followed all of the lines and did not find any leaks. Also if you get your...

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    I appreciate all the additional info. The brake light comes on right before full pressure is achieved at the pedal and turns off when pressure is backed off a little bit. I'm not seeing a leak anywhere and the fluid seems to be staying full. I'll get get the wheels of tomorrow and do some more...

    Not sure if bench bleed applies to this type of Master Cylinder.

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Do you think if the master cylinder was not bench bled initially that it could be causing the problem? The entire system is new and only has a couple hundred miles on it.

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    The one I have is a BLK250 from Inline Tube and was installed by previous owner.. Not sure what the original 4 wheel manual drum proportioning valve is

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    I tried that yesterday and again this morning but the brake light still comes in under pressure. I read that you can have someone hold the brake on while you open a bleeder valve until the light goes off and that will reset it. I'll try that next.

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Bled the brakes at all four corners and was able to get it out on dry pavement today for some hard braking and everything feels as it should, no loss of pressure in the brake pedal and car stops in a straight line even when locked up. Only issue is the brake light still comes on under hard...

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Thanks for the proportioning valve diagram, looks like everything is connected properly, master cylinder has both sides full. Emergency brake is a hand pull type and is tight with about 4" extended. Will get some help tomorrow to bleed the rear brakes and see if there is any air bubbles.

    Power Disc conversion/ proportioning valve question

    Previous owner completed a power front disc/ rear drum conversion from manual 4 wheel drum. The car seems to brake much harder in the front than the rear and when the brake pedal is pushed firmly the brake light comes on. Does this sound like the proportioning valve needs to be reset? Anything...

    Lokar Throttle cable with AVS2 carb

    Thanks. Throttle lever kit will be here Tuesday. Car was set up without the kit when I purchased and I assumed the Lokar parts would correct the problem, then I got out the Edlebrock install manual and saw the requirement. I do like the kickdown cable better than the original rods.

    Lokar Throttle cable with AVS2 carb

    Original throttle cable and kickdown were not working properly with the AVS2 carb so I switched to the Lokar set up. Problem now is that I can't get it set all the way to WOT, I can only get it to about 80% before the it starts to interfere with idle speed when released. Does the throttle lever...

    Pushrod Problems

    Thanks for the hep everyone, she is running and back on the road. Went with the Hughes roller rockers and shafts, definitely overkill for this engine but others I found online did not have very good ratings. I will say the customer service at Hughes was excellent and will use their products when...

    Pushrod Problems

    I removed the intake an pulled the lifters out, they look to be hydraulic. 6 of the 8 push rods are stamped with RP3219R-100 and a 7.565 inch overall length. The other two look like they were made by a junior high kid in shop class (exhaust on #1 & #7 cylinders) and are both slightly bent. The...

    New member here. Electrician by trade, but it has been 25 years since I have done anything other than minor engine work. My problem is that once I fixed the electrical wiring for the gauges and lights I took it out for a drive and about a mile in the tab on the rotor broke off under the...
