@DD Speed Shop..There is a procedure for bleeding the master cylinder. Half strokes first to bleed the back side of the master. Then full stroke to do the front and get any remaining air out of the back.

[@HankWeidman]

That sounds great 👍 More than Rowdy!!!

Pump the levers on the calipers to push the pistons out and then they should bleed out properly

[@whereisamerica7384]

I have the same rear calipers on my Cutlass and they were kind of crap to bleed. After they're adjusted correct. I vacuum bled, then foot bled them. Work mint now.

[@051570orion]

Make a plate to go on top of the master cylinder and put a quick disconnect in it and clamp it down to the Master cylinder, and see if you can make a seal for it , but turn your air compressor way down , and connect the air hose and pressurize it then start bleeding the brakes but check frequently or make another hole you can add brake fluid after you disconnect the air hose to top it off

[@jeffclark2232]

Sounds like the proportion valve isn't centered, try leaving the left front bleeder open when bleeding the rears. Good luck

[@pb5778]

Dan, Daniel my brother! Excellent work! You are simply the best. Two suggestions, the hard starting, poor idle and just the sound at idle, tells my old ears that she needs a little timing. Also, that sweet engine is big and that means big heat. Get a fan shroud. Very easy to do, very affordable. As aways, I love you guys! Signed - Your friend, Cancer guy! 😊

Hi Dan get a adjustable proportioning valve and put it on the frame about under the passenger side on the driver side and adjust it front to back .. works for me on my ‘55 A/G .. get the brakes stopping like you want ..

[@MrCherokeeguy98]

Those rear calipers look like "old school" grand prix front wheel drive (W body??) type rear calipers. You have to ratchet the park brake lever to push the piston out before bleeding those ones. Do this with the calipers and pads installed. Otherwise you'll be chasing a soft pedal forever. No amount of bleeding them will take up the play.

[@unchained20000000]

😁They only come back to watch me suffer! LOL!

[@211motorsports9]

I had the same problem with those rear brakes on my car. Literally took me a year to realize you have to manually adjust the pistons in with the parking brake adjusters. THEN bleed the brakes after. If you pop those springs out and remove the bolt that holds the adjuster arm, you can turn in the manual adjuster rod (in the center of the caliper) until you have pad contact on the rotor. Then reinstall the adjuster arms and springs and bleed the brakes. Hope that helps.

[@kgindustries2937]

Thing sounds like it wants to party! Good job my dude.

[@daveanderson3230]

Try taking the front right bleeder out. Panic stomp the pedal a couple times and reconnect. Trying to move the shuttle valve to uncover the rear port in the proportioning valve....

[@georgeleech2709]

Dan ,the proportioning valve is a bad name for it. All that does is if you have a broken line when you put the brakes on you have a line going to the front and one to the back. If one gets broken , in the proportioning valve there is a slider that slides to the broken side and blocks the brake fluid of so that you still have one set still functional to get stopped. Take it apart and slide it to the middle

[@travisshephard5491]

Man that thing sounds Bitchin!! Race car sounds for sure!

People who keep commenting on car pricing, just don't understand the difference between the classic car market in Canada vs the US. Trust us, those of us Canadians up here DREAM of being able to buy vehicles for the prices you Americans can get them for, but sadly, that's not the case. Just one visit to Canada and you will see pretty quick how insanely inflated things are. Dan's prices are fantastic for our area. Love you guys! 🍁🍁🏁

[@thecommodoredecker]

I think you need a longer rod on the back side of the master. It might not be running it through its travel completely to make the correct pressure. I used a disc drum master on my rear disc conversion and it worked fine with the new prop valve

Enjoyed the video! Cannot wait to hear it with the tunnel ram on. Gonna be awesome! I use to put all the tools I used on a job on the tool box side tray. Clean then put in my box. Try something like that maybe. Easier than having to pick up from floor. :p

[@darwinfoster7420]

You pump the emergency brake to set the calipers then you bleed the brakes .

[@Inspirat0]

C'mon Danni, its not the size of the rod that matters.... its the magician behind it 🤣😂 Dan.... your suffering is what brings us back time and again..... makes us feel like we aren't the only ones battling through hot rod issues

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You need a vacuum bleed kit, uses shop air and comes with a fluid container to clip onto the master so the fluid doesn't run out easily. I have seen bleeders not drilled thru too. This brakes lines on back, yeah, no. lol

fuel injection clamps for the transmission line.. don't use gas hose use high temp/pressure transmission hose made for the job.. steel line is preferred other than external oil cooler installation.. it's better and last longer than fuel line ... go to green line on Notre Dame or to your local transmission shop.. BTW I never did like single piston Master cylinders.. my brother's failed back in the day and he hits the back of the school bus I made two sweet little eyebrow dents on the back of the bus😂

So a lean condition because of not having the necessary fuel system can cost you the motor that I hear wasn't cheap and the rinky dink 7/16" wheel studs instead of the necessary 1/2" wheel studs can cause a wreck at this power level These Horsepower numbers aren't what you were building before and the convenience of only needing one socket size can be more than detrimental to you enjoying your project

Hello D'D's speed shop. I had... A comment. BUT. Local RXRd crossing through the neighborhood. I've had a brain fart...

[@jeffalbro4534]

The reason they want them mounted toward the front "The position of brake calipers relative to the rotor-whether they’re mounted in front (leading) or behind (trailing)-has some interesting considerations. Let’s break it down: Leading Calipers (Front Position): When calipers are in front of the axle (at 3/9 o’clock), they benefit from better protection against debris and receive more cooling air. However, this position shields the rotor from direct cooling airflow. The counterforce on the hub due to caliper braking torque adds to the load applied to the bearings. Trailing Calipers (Rear Position): Rearward caliper placement (at 6/12 o’clock) increases exposure to debris and hot air off the rotors. It cancels some of the loads due to the wheel, reducing the total force on the bearings1. In practice, most production cars position calipers based on chassis integration, production economies, and bleed screw orientation. Ensuring bleed screws end up near 12 o’clock helps avoid trapped air and optimizes brake system cooling without interfering with suspension or body panels2. So, while the position matters, it’s not a significant real-world performance factor for most vehicles."

[@MikeWolf-427]

You probably already moved past the brake problem by the time I reply but when I converted to Disc/Disc, I used two different Jegs kits along with buying a 7/8ths Willwood master cylinder with proportioning valve (manual brakes). After I completed the install I felt a similar problem. I later noticed my rear Brake kit instructions said to use a different sized MS. ..But I said screw it, "that's a future me problem", it still stops for now. 🤣
