so, I continue to troubleshoot, and I'm convinced I need a new master cyl.
here's the long story, 1974 tr-6, bought recently, west coast car, trucked
to nj. all brake components at the wheels look new, calipers rebuilt, wheel
cyl's new, new hoses, and pads/shoes...car has 90,000 miles....very soft
pedal, very bad. adjusted rear shoes, and handbrake, no significant change,
bled brakes, no change....when I stomp on the brakes, many times, then look
in the resevoir, I see tiny bubbles coming from the main resevoir (front
brakes, I assume)...my guess is there is a bad seal between the primary and
secondary circuit in the master cyl...I have not lost any fluid.
so, I'd like to get a few more drives before snow falls, any suggestions for
a brand new master cyl, other than the big3?
