Here is my situation. I have had NO brakes on my '50 Power Wagon since I got it. After cleaning, honing, kitting, replacing flexible hoses, then bleeding, bleeding, bleeding, I found a (the) problem. When there is any small amount of pressure in the line, the brake fluid opts to flow through the relief port (reference #B in the book) of the master cylinder. What I am doing, when I apply the brake pedal, is recirculating fluid through the master cylinder. Does anyone know why this is happening? Do I need a new master cylinder? Any help will be appreciated.
