I recently converted my front brake drums on my 70 Chevelle to disc brakes. I also installed a combination valve and a new master cylinder. When I attempt to bleed the brakes, fluid from the front master cylinder(controls the front disc brakes) sprays out as the brakes are pushed. Does anybody have any idea what could cause this. It also seems that I have very little pressure in the front brakes. The rear brakes seems to be working fine.

Thanx

Is it spraying out around the line? It might just not be tight enough or it is crossthreaded and not sealing correctly.

No, all the lines are tight, when the brake is applied and the lid to the master cylinder is off, brake fluid shoots from the front portion of the master cylinder. In fact when the brakes are applied, brake fluid shoot almost to the front windshield. I cant figure it out.

Thats normal,nothing wrong with the MC.Put the lid on and snap it shut,continue bleeding. graemlins/clonk.gif

Thanks for the tip.
