Squishy brakes
Ok makes sense. Yeah I was just saying it’s the same when the car is moving and not moving. Wasn’t really referring to the motor running. Just mentioned the brake booster and low vacuum because I thought that would be helpful in some way. Guess it wasn’t- justinbrugg

Squishy brakes
i haven’t done anything with the rod positioning. I’m just a little confused. Is the geometry different because it takes more force to push non boosted brakes? Thus meaning it’s better to position the rod closer to the pivot point for more torque? The main problem I’m having is that it takes...- justinbrugg

no power brakes when I started. The kit came with an adjustable pedal rod and it’s pulled out enough to where it doesn’t just hit the floor.- justinbrugg

Squishy brakes
I’m sorry man I think we’re on the wrong page. It’s hard to understand the context of messages and meaning behind them. Think it would have made more sense face to face. I told you that it’s equally as soft stationary and running. I could have been more direct but I was trying to say there’s no...- justinbrugg

If I could get a good pedal parked I wouldn’t be here man. Sorry about the confusion with part numbers didn’t mean for that to be confusing. I guess I found my answer though. Thank you for your help.- justinbrugg

just ordered a new master thanks for figuring that out for me. Bought the master cyl a long time ago probably before I thought about doing a disc brake swap.- justinbrugg

Squishy brakes
I’ve never heard of a centering tool. The valve is bolted to the chassis, so I’m not sure how that would work. I don’t think the loss of vacuum is causing the problem but I was looking into a vacuum reservoirs. I guess they store vacuum when running higher rpm for idle speeds if you need to brake.- justinbrugg

No I can’t get a good pedal parked. Thinking good meaning a normal stiffness pedal. I forgot to mention I have a brake booster as well, but feel like that wouldn’t be the problem. Tried to match the master cylinder online and came up with: 7387BB-MC- justinbrugg

Squishy brakes
running a big cam so the pedal is pretty much equally as soft stationary and running. Motor just can’t pull vacuum for the master. I don’t know what the model master calendar is. I should probably change the valve then thank you for letting me know. I need to pump the brake to get decent ish...- justinbrugg

Squishy brakes
Hello, I’m sure there are other threads of this but I feel like I’ve tried everything. Just installed new front brakes, did a disk brake conversion on the rear, new hard line going to rear, new master cylinder, and a new right H front brake rubber line and rear rubber line. Bleeding the brakes...- justinbrugg

No dash lights!!
I unplugged the plug that connects the rear lights. Fuse still blew which means it’s not causing the problem. Pulled the plug on the firewall that is responsible for headlights, front markers running lights etc and fuse didn’t blow. I’ve not touched the front light wiring on the truck so my...- justinbrugg

No dash lights!!
The rear lights were unplugged when I was trying to diagnose the issue and the fuse still broke even with them unplugged. So I’m fairly certain it’s not because of them- justinbrugg

No dash lights!!
LED lights were installed so shouldn’t be the bulb itself. I think the owner before me had done work to the car. Dash lights didn’t work when I first got the car. Do t know if the running lights worked either. The whole wiring harness had been re plugged by me and the engine bay wiring had been...- justinbrugg

No dash lights!!
1978 Chevy c10 tail lamp and curtesy light fuse blows every time dash lights are turned on. I think it’s grounding out somewhere. Pulled the rear lights (blinker break, rev. Etc) but the fuse still blew. Looking for ideas on where it could be grounding out. All of the gauge lights have been...- justinbrugg

Starter problems after doing 5 speed swap
Tried the OEM starter. Sounded really good. Don’t think I’m getting the desired distance but worst that happens is I get a new ring gear when I pull the motor to stroke it. Thanks for all you f the help I’ve appreciated all of it. I would attach a video of the starter in action for anyone who’s...- justinbrugg

Starter problems after doing 5 speed swap
Thank you very much! My plan is to try the starter Tommorow and see how it goes. Originally I didn’t know it was possible to pull just the ring gear off. That’s why I was so worried. I’ve been working on this car for way too long and just want to be able to drive it.- justinbrugg

Starter problems after doing 5 speed swap
It’s a billet fly wheel. Both surfaces are well “finished” and no it’s not installed backwards. But I’m with you it’s probably an issue with the fly. I’m planning on starting it tomorrow and seeing how it goes. I’ve also done a rough measurement on the end of ring gear to block and it’s up to...- justinbrugg

Starter problems after doing 5 speed swap
Pretty challenging to get in contact with their support. Sent them a couple of emails and tried calling half dozen times. Planning on letting it rip after I get back in town on Monday. Worst that happens is it slowly eats my ring gear over the summer and I get a new one put on over the winter...- justinbrugg
