Car is stock except for the ugrades I mentioned. There is a slight exhaust leak at the exhaust flange going into the turbo. Next thing I'm doing is checking and replacing a lot of the vacuum lines. It's possible one of the headers is cracked...it is all original. Those were the first numbers I...

Anyone care to look over my Scanmaster numbers? '84 T-Type, stock turbo, stock injectors, cold air kit, 87 ECM with Turbo Tweak chip , 87 MAF. After a good warm up, at idle I get: O2 -- 710 AF -- 04 L8 -- 29 Bat -- 13.6 Int -- 128 BL -- 142 Clt -- 184 ATS -- 71 (I do not have the air temp...

Verdict: Well fellas. I put a new master cylinder and brass proportioning valve (Kirban) on the T-Type. Bled all 4 wheels in the correct order. Thing stops on a dime now and brakes are working beautifully. I had the cast iron prop valve and that thing is stuck like Chuck. Thanks for all the...

I suspect the good pedal I had was really only the front brakes working and prop valve was stuck somewhere in the middle and letting some fluid to the rears, but not enough to really engage them...but enough to bleed the lines and wheel cyls. The master is old and rusty, the cap is rusty and the...

I ordered the prop valve from kirban and a new MC. Just gonna put clean parts on and bleed it all again from scratch. See what happens. But I appreciate all the input from everyone.

But the brakes worked great unless i was only running off the fronts and didnt know before and the prop valve is stuck. The master is crusty and so is the prop valve...so I thonk an R&R is in order anyway.

I mean the parts are relatively cheap....im about to just swap out the master and put a new brass prop valve and start from scratch.

I get steady solid fluid out both rear bleeders. Just dont get it. Unless theres some air bubble trapped in that prop valve where bleeding the rears cant get it out. Like I said...good solid fluid out the back....but the rear brakes just dont hold. Maybe I blew a seal in the master and its...

I should say...bleeding the rears with the vac device. The master i bled myself by depressing the pedal...but i was going all the way to floor and back...possibly overstroking like you said. I will try again without overstroking and using the right stuff. For what its worth...i think i have...

I was doing it myself using vacuum device. When I bled the master I was going slow and steady...but I was going all the way down. It may have taken back air thru the fitting at the mc....was just a push on type adapter...not threaded plastic adapter. I'll try with an actual mc bleeder...

Need some help fellas with bleeding my rear brake. '84 T-Type with Hydrobooster. Recently bought the car, brakes worked great so I never got around to checking the fluid level in the master cylinder. Went to pull it out of the garage and the brake light came on and the pedal went halfway down...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to make my informal intro here. My name's Lou, from Chicago. New to this forum, and a new Turbo Buick owner. Picked up a hot air '84 T-Type. Runs and drives, needs mostly cosmetic work, but solid and straight, great running drivetrain. All original and appears to be...
