Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | I'm looking at a single reservoir power brake master cylinder for a 59 mopar . which line feeds the brakes lines? top or bottom hole on the master . I've seen pics of it in both positions . which is the right way ? shop manual shows brake line coming in from the bottom to bottom hole and top one is for the brake sender to screw in .. does each outlet have the same amount of pressure ?

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9912 Location: Lower Mainland BC | . This is your chance to go for a dual master for not much more effort or cost. The single has the pressure-based brake switch at the end of the master. The brake line is the port that goes down. No use wasting money on a single reservoir master when you can, for a few dollars more,(or actually less, you can get a dual. Don't forget to bench bleed.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | Yes , at some point I will upgrade .. I seen others use that rubber brake line hose . Is that what you used ? For my application..... my brake line has to come in from the bottom with a sharp 90* angle. That hose might be a good idea .

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | I did some searching on the master for the 59 dodges and it seems that most if not all have the main brake line in the top port of the master . brake light switch is on the bottom sooooo , there must be equal pressure on each port hole. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7410 Location: northern germany | I would be highly surprised if these cars ever roled of the assenbly line with the brake line at the bottom, since the residual valve sits at the end of the MC. At least in all the cars I've ever owned (59-61) and these of course had the brake line connected to the top (nose) of the MC from the factory. So IF (?) you have a OE MC with the residual valve at the bottom, you MUST connect the brake line there. Edited by 1960fury 2020-03-25 10:31 AM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | just looked at more pics on the internet and it appears the main feed line is on the nose outlet for 59 mopars .. another question ............... are single reseviors masters manual or for power. brakes .. any different internally ? I have both here and they appear to be the same except for bore size . | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | one more question ........ can I use heater hose for the hoses that are on the power brakes units from intake to vac tank and from tank to Booster or do I need the high pressure hoses so they won't collaspe ? | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1018 Location: Milwaukee Wisconsin | I have a power brake master that is like the one you have with the sender on the nose port and a hose on the bottom for the feed. the issue is............... that lower hose fitting hole is different than a say a 59 dodge master. appears the master I have here is a for a 57 , from what I gathered on the sites is that 57 had a rubber hose line for the feed . just to point out that older 57 master has a different threaded hole to accomadate a so called brake line fitting end. . correct me if I'm wrong . I tried all kinds of brass fittings to screw/adapt into the sender hole and I haven't found one yet. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 307 Location: Kalispell, MT USA | I use Weatherhead H10008 hose from Napa for vacuum line runs. Available in different ID's. Fabric braids make it very flexible without kinking. https://s7d9.scene7.com/s7viewers/html5/ZoomViewer.html?config=Genui... | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13054 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Practically, both outputs are after the residual valve, so - it doesn't matter. BUT the correct is to connect the switch to the lower output since that has a restriction.

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13054 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Yes Sid, the hydraulic switches was a drag - already in 61 mechanical switches was installed. The mechanical switches saves many milliseconds as they can be adjusted to close the circuit just as the brake pedal is pressed down a little, even before hydraulic pressure is present. All eventual gunk and residue ended up in the hydraulic switch, giving uneven function. Also, DOT5 brake fluid leaks through the hydraulic switch, even if brand new. | ||
