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.
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.
So if you good pedal parked but no pedal on the road,you'd have been happy and never posted? Hmm seems strange. I asked about pedal parked, because it was relevant to diagnose your problem. Good pedal parked,bad on the road I would not be looking at hydraulics first. I'd have been looking at mechanical,pads being pushed in by bad rotors or loose wheel bearings. Wanted to know the master check to check compatibility,didn't even know you bought it from Summit until you got smart on one of your last posts. Tried to find it yesterday typing in cpp and the number you gave to no luck. What vendor helped a bunch letting someone know where you got it and determine it was wrong. Don't get smart with people that are trying to help you,instead be cooperative and give them as much info as you can.
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 difference and they’re both equally soft when running & stationary. That being said I had soft brakes in the first place. I get that my message about the master cyl. was confusing. I wrote that before I fell asleep and looking back it does sound like it was a half a** guess on what I had, but that was the correct master. I was able to find the master using the part number I sent you and didn’t really know that you wanted it from a specific website, but I may have missed that. it wasn’t just a master cylinder, but a booster and master. Maybe that’s why you didn’t see it? I didn’t have and disrespectful intent on any of my messages I think they were misconstrued through message. I’m not a great texter and I may have written messages too quickly. I was looking for help and I did appreciate your help and everyone else’s genuinely. But aside from that I found my answer from you and a few other people. New valve and a disk disk master cylinder. Ordered the parts so hopefully it all works. Thank you for your time and sorry we got on the wrong foot.
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.
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 multiple pumps on the brakes to get a somewhat acceptable brake even if you completely push the brake to the floor. The pedal does have a longer throw so I’ll definitely mess with that tomorrow.
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
Thanks!
I think I found the problem.
