This is GreenSnakeDoc back on line. I had trouble getting my password two Fridays ago so I could get to this thread at home over the weekend. To make a long story short, I had to register with a new name to continue to participate. In the mean time, I've installed a 1 1/16" diameter master cylinder, which unfortuneately is totally mushy in that I can push the pedal all the way to the floor. Unlike the previous MC, this one will not "pump up" allowing a higher line pressure. I suspect I did not get all the air out of the MC when I bench bled it, then "bench bled" installed on the firewall. I would get a long stream of bubbles when the piston was depressed, so I tried clamping the clear vinyl hose with flat pliers so the piston would draw from the resevoir instead of taking the same fluid and bubbles back. First check after getting everything back together was a very, very soft pedal, right to the floor. So, I ran a quart of Dot 3 through the system, all four wheels, with speed bleeders, one at a time. I got a high, but fairly soft pedal that will eventually stop the car, but too dangerous in traffic. I'll have to run another quart through. This time, I think I'll open all four speed bleeders with a hose on each into a collecting jar. I've got so much Dot 3 on me this weekend my wife thinks it's a new brand of aftershave. Fortuneately, my Cobra is not painted, or I'll have to be doing a re-paint.
