ok, went to pull a part today and picked up two manual s10 mc's. 83 and 85 models. For all those that wonder how to keep the rod in place....if you find an unmolested truck, you take the mc out and the rod is held in place with a "cup" under the rubber boot that all comes out with the mc. A little "widening" of the buicks hole and the cup fits right in. no way the rod can come out. now about the rod. The peddle end is a dead ringer for the powermaster rod. Fits right on the peddle. You just need to cut 2" out of it and weld it back together. perfect fit.
I'll post pics this weekend.
now the Problem......Im bleeding the lines and the front was great. Good line pressure and lots of fluid coming out. The rear seems like its not getting alot of fluid out??? While I had it on the bench I filled up the two res. and pushed the plunger....the rear reservoir had fluid cumming back up out of it, but the port was spewing fluid out like it should. is that normal with no cap and no lines attached ?? the front port while on the bench, that goes to the back brakes, which may be my problem, had really no fluid coming out......?? I tried another mc and it did the same thing so i figured it was normal, but as I mentioned above hardly any fluid coming out the rear bleaders after i put it on and started bleeding the lines. Bad mc?? two bad mc's ???
any thoughts??
oh yea, I also scored a whole vacc. assembly and brake peddle of an 85 regal. there are numbers on the bottom side of the mc's. Its funny because the exact same numbers are on the manual s-10 and the vacc. brake's mc off the regal. So, if you wanted manuals, you could just take the mc off a vacc. regal and bolt it on.
