[QUOTE="Bahama Bob, post: 221572, member: 4385"] I have the Corvette master cylinder still in my shop that I used. It was for a 64 Vette with manual disc brakes. I had the same problem he is having. Pedal travels all the way, but is spongy and seems to loose pressure while traveling down hill. So I went the direction of smaller new model MC with the 1 ton calipers but still had the same issue. My buddy had the same issue and went with the 1 ton MC for manual disc brakes and still has the same issue. He says it will stop but he spends more time fighting to stop and planned what to do if it don't. Tony Black on this board that wheels the spider buggy with Julio and those guys is the one that told me about the smaller caliper conversion. He put it on his 1 ton front end and said it worked great. I just finished mine up along with a complete front and rear end rebuild. It was the answer I was looking for and now if I want to order the bigger four piston calipers I could and they would be a direct bolt on. Not trying to steer anyone wrong, but I have been in the exact same boat and tossed a lot of money at my rigs guessing about what would make it stop.
