<VV> dual master conversion

[Dave Keillor]

If it's a new master cylinder from Clark's, that's not the first place
to look.  Was it bench bled before installation?

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. It seems I've got some
homework to do. I was planning on being lazy this weekend.....oh well.

 

To answer a few things, the unit is a new Clark's unit. I did specify
1964, so if the bore is too large, maybe they sent a wrong unit? 

 

Thanks again everyone.

Tony

The other question is, what master cylinder was used?  Corvair or
something else?  Having a master cylinder with the wrong piston size
might account for the need to use both feet.

Hi Tony,

It sounds like something is wrong - the dual m/c should feel just like
the single.  I would check the pushrod length and re-bleed the system.
