I got a problem... I went to a bigger cam in my '80 malibu classic, which meant that my power brakes would no longer serve any use. I went with a wilwood tandem master cylinder ( part # 260-9439) I got the proper rod length, set every line up to where it should go, and bled the brakes. As i drove the car up and down my street a couple of times to test the brakes, i noticed that the brake pedal got stiffer and stiffer with each stop to a point where i couldn't even move the car when it is in first gear. It turns out that the front brakes are getting pressure to them but never releasing it back into the master cylinder. I checked my line lock and it is working find (it also does this when the line lock is disconnected), I re-bench bled the master cylinder and it is working properly, and my front brake lines are good as well. One concern i have is that the master cylinder does not sit even with the car. The nose of it sticks up higher than the back, but there is always an ample amount of fluid in the front resevoir.
I don't know what the problem is!!!! Do i level the master cylinder out with the car? Do i put in an adjustable distribution block?? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated...
