I just got finished installing a master cylinder in my 59 and bled
the entire system, including the clutch slave. With all air removed
and a nice full pedal on both clutch and brake I noticed I
couldn't spin my brake rotor( drivers side). I converted to discs
also. I figured bad caliper, replaced it with a decent spare and rebled
system.
Same problem, then I noticed the rear drums weren't free spinning
either.
I took a chance with a master cylinder that appeared ok but never went
inside.
My best guess is the return path for the fluid is blocked by the piston
in the master or a section of bad rubber cup in the bore. Any help or
best guesses b4 I remove the old master and send off to Apple? If the
pressure was there all the time wouldn't my brake lites stay on also. I
don't think they were but plan to check as well.
Thanx in advance,
Alan
