Brakes bled and pedal goes to the floor but I do stop... sort of.
#26
You have given me enough information that I would condem the master. The fact that the wheels turn in 4low doesnt mean much (low gears overpower mechanical force). But when you put it in hi range and burp the throttle the rear wheels moved. That tells me that the master cyl you have is not the correct size to match the rear wheel cyls. Plus since the master cyl is at the end of the stroke it is not moving enough fluid to completly hold the fronts either. It may have the correct bore, but it may have too short of a stroke.
I hate to see you put more money into it (especialy with rear drums) but I think the best thing to do would be buy the master cyl from duffs.
The only other thing too do would be find out what the bore and stroke of the master cyl duffs offers is and then find someone at a parts store who can look them up by the bore, stroke and mounting flange.
I will bring my tools to URE too show you how to adjust the brakes correctly and bleed all four wheels. Let me know what you decide to do.
