Hey all i have a lil predicament im hopin ya'll can help me with. Im slowly weeding out the problems on my 82 firebird, got the new clutch in works great except when i tried to stop and about drove the brake pedal through the floor. checked it out and noticed fluid seeping out where the MC connects to the booster. so i replaced the master cylinder. still no brakes though. bled the system still to no avail. so then i replaced the booster itself and had some nasty lookin orange stuff fall out of the booster in the process. still no brakes but now when i hit the brake pedal and hold it for a second the engine just up and dies. im lost i dont know too much about braking systems so any help would greatly be appreciated.

 

did u bleed it at the brakes or the distribution block right next to the MC? bleed it at the block so u get all the air out of the MC...sounds to me like the distribution block has air in it or the MC...

 

ok now i have bench bled the MC, that helped a lil bit, got told to press a lil rubber button on the bottom of the proportioning valve, did that. now i at least have some brakes when the pedal is almost to the floor and if i press too hard the rear brakes lock up. seem to have gotten air out of prop valve and MC should i now go and bleed the brakes at the wheels again and when i do do i crack open the brake line or the lil fitting or does it matter??

 

use the bleader not the line it self. start on the right rear go to the left rear then right front then left front
