Sometimes the new master cylinders don't come with new pressure valves and you're supposed to transfer them from your old one.

I’m not sure exactly what a pressure valve is
But if it’s a little brass orifice that presses in there then yeah that does look like it’s missing from the master.
I dunno why I didn’t notice when I was showing my buddy how to bench bleed and what not but lesson learned... what is weird tho is it never leaked before when it was placed on there that I noticed. And this thing was spitting fluid.
I’m half tempted to say while it was sitting in my front yard someone came and borrowed the part right out of it lol

Mine never had one, but that’s apples to oranges. It’s mid 80s and hydroboost.

The pressure valves were mostly found in FWD cars. That master cylinder takes lines with bubble flares. It's not the right cylinder for your truck.

I got a delco one now
Paint is drying
Bench bled and now I’ll do my least favorite thing and bleed the corners

I tried snooping your page a while back to find where you were but you’re set to private LOL
That’s good to knowntho
There was another member in Stockton too that’s a bout 30 miles north of me
I looked at a few cabs in Chico and Redding before I chose this one for the donor

 

[eskimomann209]

Nooooooo leaks
Took her for a spin
She drives.... the same as before. LOLOL
But I checked the door seals and No leaks there. so that’s another leak knocked out.
Body mounts are still loose for the painter.
But I might zip them down so I can cruise it some more.
Thanks for all the input on the master silly!!

Haha I keep messing with EVERYONE
They come by and I show them the truck and ask what do you think?
Don’t the mirrors LOOK Bad Azz it’s EXACTLY the look I want
So far 3/3 people have been too kind to say what they thought until I told them they’re coming off lmfao

 

[DoubleDingo]

I'll be doing this job soon. My MC is about shot. May do the booster too while I'm at it.

Anyone had bent transmission arms for the wipers making contact and getting bound up in the cowl?
I’m thinking I might need new wiper motor bushings
Maybe they’re letting the motor sit too close to the wall and that’s why it’s binding ...
