<VV> Master Cylinder Install

Sun Sep 6 18:30:52 EDT 2015

My '65 Monza has been exceptionally reliable but the time has come for some mechanical work. First on the list is the installation of a 2 chamber master cylinder. I have the MC and have made a hope in the firewall for the new line. What I need to know is how to hook up the new line from the MC.

Hi Ken, 
Sounds like a neat car. I use Sta Lube GL-4 I purchased from Napa Auto Parts. Works good for me.

I've never seen a TimeSert that didn't have a shoulder on it so you can't go too far. ??? 
Curious on blown out plugs - do they just blow out due to damaged threads or do they come loose and spin out until there aren't enough threads left to hold them and then blow out, or some of each? 
I guess it's not too common. I've never seen it in any of my 40+ Corvairs or my piles of heads with lots of other issues (mostly bad seats). 
...I shouldn't have said that...

When using TimeSerts, be certain to not turn them too far into the head as I have learned from watching that the 'tink' sound of it falling into the combustion chamber is a bad sound - Very bad. 
Led to head removal, first of the guy who did it, then the engine.

Not common but, it happened to me, once, some twenty years ago. First and only time while driving 'vairs by 47 years.

I assume your car has a manual transmission. In such case I recommend 
this Amsoil product: type MTG Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube 
75W-90, GL-4
