master cylinder question 68 Pontiac
Can somebody tell me which circuit is the front brakes and which is the rear brakes? I am assuming that the circuit closest to the firewall is the front. Disk front, drum rear power brakes.
Thanks! |
Bigger reservoir is the front circuit.
|
If both reservoirs are the same size was I sold the wrong master?
|
Same size is correct
Front is rear The stay off valve for front disc to delay rear drum Plums from front reservoir . Are you running disc r drum?? |
I disagree.
GM usually had larger reservoir for factory disc, certainly with the later designs that had the front circuit in the rear. Are the fittings different size nuts for the hardlines? |

the operative word here is "usually". 60's stuff is different. My guess is that as the circuits use the same amount of pressure, the front pads/shoes wear much quicker and since the piston is MUCH bigger will require more fluid to replace the space as the piston start point is further inward - hence the larger rez so it does not run dry. The OEM's did not sort this out right away - it took some time. |
