Reporting in...MaSnaka has brakes! For those who have been following I hope this is the end of my saga. I replaced the MC. I took the old one to the local NAPA auto parts store and the nice folks there were able to cross reference the part number and find a replacement (made in USA). It is from a late '70s Mustang II. I paid $75 for the new one. There were instructions on bench bleeding which I followed and the install was a snap. I replaced one of the 3/16" brake lines that had a bad fitting, NAPA has them already flared in a variety of lengths, 12" long for about $3.50. I modified the push rod to make the length adjustable for the perfect pedal height (picture included). I have noticed that with every little change there comes a handful of related project tasks. After spending days/hours working on this I am able to say changing my pedal ratio made a big difference (that was great advice). So far I have about $200 in this total with the pedal mod and new MC plus incidentals. I still plan to upgrade pads, resurface discs and clean and lube. Today was a day I could actually get my tires to lock up at about 45-50mph. I still look forward to a total four wheel disc upgrade (when my stimulus check arrives) but for now it's good enough to stop as one would expect. For some reason my brake light switch lost power, it never ends...Thanks you guys for the help and support.

John
