Hi all, as stated I have an original bones 53 chevy 210 with 79 chev monte carlo or camaro drivetrain, including rear end. This would include the single master cylinder under the floor.
I have replaced all four wheel cylinders, and master cylinder, as well as all questionable brake lines, (a couple of which were rusted through and leaky).
My problem, I get in the car and the wheels will lock up, brakes are great....until I drive about a mile or so. Then the usual stand on brakes and pray it will stop or something doesn't pop.
I have bled this thing several times by myself, (bottle with hose in fluid method, I use a 2x4 to lock the pedal to the floor using the bottom of the dashboard until I can tighten up the bleeder). Same problem. Brakes great then depreciate after driving a few minutes.
I read here in the search about the cylinder not going back far enough to allow fluid backflow, but all seems well in that regard.
Another question, could air be somehow sucking back into the lines without showing a fluid leak? I have read where air can go where fluid won't show.
Any input? I am sick of bleeding these brakes. Thanx.
