Re: For those of you who've done a power disc swap how'd you extend the pushrod???

A couple of things. That .200" gap is too much. I will have to check and see what the acceptable clearance is. next is the master you are using. If you are using a stock truck master for a disc/drum system, that is not correct. You also need a disc/disc prop valve or an adjustable valve in the rear circuit. Depending on just what calipers you are running, you should have at least a '77-'84(?) Corvette master or maybe a different one all together. This thread may be of help.

The clevis in engine bay from booster is tight up against the firewall, is that normal or should I have a gap? What dimensions should I be looking for? Bench bled MC. Trying to bleed lines and can't seem to pump up any pressure. Tried bleeding with a partner. Also attached a clear tube to each of the 4 bleeders and taped them to side of Blazer so they reached above MC to try and get all air out. Just can't build up pressure. Suggestions?
