2 years chasing low pressure at the caliper...

my brake ordeal is on hold while i get the new motor done.. hope to have it moving again in 2 weeks or so

brave to build a bad *** engine and not figured the brakes

Very few parts stores have actual catalogs now days. Our old NAPA store had a full rack and Barry could find a longer brake hose for you. Back of the book is where it's at.

Good luck with that most other places, cause these morons nowadays don't know the difference tween pipe, flare or tube or any other fitting type. Some cannot even read a tape measure.

so now i make 1400-1500psi at the MC and only 900 at the caliper...

See post #168. You can easily have enough fluid movement when plugging the MC outlet with a gauge, but not enough to move the pistons to clamp to the same pressure. If the MC is running out of travel and you have done all that can be done to reduce losses and slop in the system, you need a higher volume MC (longer MC piston travel or slightly bigger) from an application with bigger caliper pistons.

I have been through 4 mc's from 1.1"(i think) and now down to 7/8".. they all did the same thing. going to work on it when i get the car mobile again
