Did you replace the rear brake hose? Could be a collapsed or damaged hose restricting fluid flow. Hope this helps

1) No 2) Yes, about 3” down. But not rock hard. Still a little spongey 3) Yes. the pedal does not drop after holding for a while. We’re going to New York for Christmas, and are planing on digging back into the car when we get back. I didn’t bench bleed the master. Foolish. Lol. I’ve gotten...

Here’s another angle. It’s definitely 1/4”

Here’s a picture of our adapter.

No offset adapter, just the 1/4" thick 4 hole to 2 hole adapter. I thought you had an 87 diplomat master cylinder? All of my research shows that as a 1-1/32? Thanks again for all the help. Eric

Do you mean you have to push the pedal twice as far as a new car?

I'll crawl my scrawny *** under there and check it next time I get over there. Now that it's been together and worked for a while I'd like to bleed the entire system one more time. Thanks. Eric

Maybe I need to move up to an 1-1/8 master?

I am running the same master cylinder you are Bob. 1987 dodge diplomat. 1-1/32 bore. We did not lengthen the pushrod. I never thought about it. I believe we have an extra push rod, I think we're going to try that. Bob, are you running any proportioning valve or residual pressure valves in your...

Explorer axles have drum style parking brake. I thought about that too. Thanks. Eric

Appears to be 1" bore

And if I may ask, what bore is your master? I may be off on the bore. That would cause this. Thanks. Eric

Wouldn't to much fluid returning to the master cause a low pedal also? That was my thoughts behind the residual valves. I can't pump the pedal up. So I don't believe its air. But I am planing on bleeding again. Now that we've been pumping the brakes for a couple of months. Yeah, I'd say it...

1963 Plymouth valiant. 1974 Dodge Challenger front disks 1996 Ford 8.8 rear axle with factory disks. 1987 Dodge diplomat master cylinder. 1-1/32 bore. Lines ran straight to hoses/calipers. No proportioning valve. Front to rear bias seems to be fine. No premature rear lock up or anything...

That's my thoughts also. We like the look of polished stainless, and I don't know if the polished copper look will be right.

How does it polish up? I'm having a difficult time finding good pictures of polished applications.

Restoring a 1963 Plymouth valiant with my father and son. I'm very fussy about brake line fit and appearance. Normally I use stainless line and polish it upon final fitting. A friend of mine suggested using copper nickel line and polishing it. Anybody use it before? Any pictures? Does it...

I wouldn't think so. The original master cylinder mounted directly to the thin sheet metal of the firewall. So i would think it would be fine.

Thank you very much for the information. I think with a dodge diplomat master cylinder we can make our own adapter out of quarter inch aluminum plate. This just might work, and by doing at our self will save Jason a lot of money. Thank you again. Eric and Jason

Is that only his master cylinder or is that all of the plastic bodied late model ones? Thanks, Eric

And here's another one I haven't been able to figure out? The DR Diff "kit" claims that you don't need to extend your pushrod. How is that possible? I figure even if we use a 1/4" plate we're still going to have to extend the pushrod that much or more. Thanks again for all the help guys...

Thank you very much for the replies guys. On the Dodge pick up and diplomat master cylinders, I'm assuming the residual check valve for the factory rear drum brakes on those vehicles is in the proportioning valve and that the master cylinder doesn't hold pressure on the rear brakes? Also...

1963 Plymouth valiant. 1974 E Body front discs Ford Explorer 8.8 with rear discs I'm considering going with the Dr Diff master cylinder and adapter plate. But looking for what others have done. Thanks. Eric Front brakes

Thank you for the link. I'll check it out. Thanks, Eric L

Anybody have any info on this. I still cant seem to find what I believe are the correct (short) slider bolts. Thanks, Eric L

And what year jeep Cherokee master is being used? Eric L

Thank you for the replies everyone. I have heard of using the Cherokee master cylinder before and was considering that option. What problems do you run into not running a prop valve? Do the backs grab before the fronts because of the smaller caliper bore? Thanks again for the replys. We...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if people were running a factory replacement from another car, or just going off of bore size with a wildwood or mopar performance. Thanks, Eric L

We are switching our project 63 valiant over to 74 E body front disk brakes, and a Ford 8.8 explorer axle with disks as well. What master cylinder is everyone using with 4 wheel disk brakes? Any help would be appreciated. FWIW were keeping manual brakes. Thanks, Eric L

I picked up a set of 74 challenger front brakes for Jason's 63 valiant, and they had two lengths of slider pins. One is around 4.25 and the other is just over 5". Which one do I need and does anybody have a part number? I found Wagner h5017, I believe that's for the long one. Thanks. Eric L
