ok thanks guys so i guess it’s the 2nd piston cup allowing fluid to bypass and get in front reservoir. if both were leaking i should have seen some fluid around mc. appreciate the answers as always great info here!

ok i know this is gonna sound crazy but it would appear that the fluid in the rear break reservoir of master cylinder is moving to front brake reservoir. i converted years ago to ssbc front disc and kept rear drums. they sent me a new mc with the kit listed as from an A body with 1 1/32 in bore...

hey thanks for taking time to explain. i think i finally get it at least to some degree lol. i think i will get it out drive it a bit more to check for vibrations. then correct as necessary based on that. thanks to all who replied.

transmission is not hitting tunnel but is close. when i jack it up to shim it lifts car not transmission so something is maxed. also don’t want to stress engine mounts. i need to try and figure why it won’t raise. i agree easy to shim 1/4” if transmission moved. i need to figure out why it...

ok that makes sense i was thinking the 2 angles needed to be opposite and the same with weight on car not under acceleration. so if i was really worried i could raise the pinion 1 deg or so making the wrap up a little more reasonable. the car is street driven only with occasional spirited driving.

ok i lied i don’t think i understand it at all lol. can you show me how ya got 3.8 pinion angle? i thought pinion angle was angle relative to ground or level in my case about 2 deg. i don’t doubt your right i just want to understand it.

i have a 68 charger 383 with tko 5speed conversion from silver sport. i am trying to adjust pinion angle. i have read everything on the forum and lots on internet about it. i think i 1/2 understand it. my output shaft is 2.2 deg down and the pinion is about 2 deg down clearly not ideal ending up...

i have loosened all the bolts on the mounts and tried to move engine up from beneath but i guess there is little to no play on the bottom bolts caused nothing moved it just raised the front of car. i haven’t tried lifting engine from top side to see if the upper bolts might have some play. it’s...

i put new engine mount isolators on my 383 in a 68 charger. the isolators touch the engine block with basically no clearance on both sides of engine. the mount has about a 1/4” clearance. is this typical? i have double checked proper installation and all looks good. the new isolators are the...

i was only going by the info on their website according to them they are. OEM Spec Engine Mount - 66-72B 66-73C 70-74E if you look on their description they show thickness to be 1.4”. i didn’t measure mine. thanks, i will try loosening mounts

hey that part was easy i got my wife to do it!

lol. how much off is enough to cause issues? hey these tolerances are tight compared to those on my 40 ford!

i noticed the right side of my 383 in my 68 charger appears to be slightly lower than the left side (appears to be 1/16-1/8 or so). i am looking at the k member and center link relative to the oil pan and they are not perfectly parallel. i noticed it when i hooked up the center link. i have...

yep, sounds good thanks to everyone for your help.

right i got that but i expected the holes for the muffler brackets to be close to the same or otherwise seems the tail pipes won’t be level
