So, I removed my master cylinder (Manual Drum brakes all the way around) from my 72 Demon to clean it up and refinish. I've never driven the car and have no idea of the brake function other than they did not work when just trying to stop it from rolling. I'm pretty sure it's the original master cylinder too.
I've been bench bleeding it and the first few rounds of bleeding pushed out a ton of nasty, rusty looking fluid. I just have it all running into a bucket before I worried about pushing air out. The fluid has finally started to clear up, but I'm seeing tiny, dark "flakes" and specks of debris that seems to never end.
Should I just replace the master cylinder or will this eventually clear up..? They're not expensive to replace but I'd like to save where I can and keep as much original as possible.
With what I'm seeing, should also just expect to replace the lines too.. I'm sure they're gonna produce the same nastiness when they're flushed. Replace proportioning valve..?
I do have all new wheel cylinders. What's one do with a car that's been sitting for years..??
