Strange Engineering Master Cylinder

[Richard Grant]

Have somone pump the petal while you bleed the lines. It sounds like you may have an obstruction in a line. You should get a high pressure squirt at each wheel if everything is correct. A stock master should work fine with drum brakes. Have you replaced all the stock lines? For drum brakes 7/8's master should be the ticket. If you changed from power to manuel brakes then your problem is the petal ratio. Power brakes have a much lower petal ratio and you must redrill the petal and increase the ration for manuel brakes. It may also require relocating the master for a straight shot from the petal thru the rod to the master.
