Anybody have a good parts list with exploded diagram of a '51 B-3 Power Wagon Master cylinder? I rebuilt my master cylinder awhile back and had a thick rubber "gasket" left over from the NAPA kit. Without it I had NO pedal. The Parts Manual doesn't show it, nor do the other diagrams I have. Out of frustration and curiosity I put it in last and now have a pedal and correct freeplay. But, after driving awhile and using the brakes, enough pressure builds up to keep the tail light on and cause drag on the shoes. I figure this mysterious gasket is in the wrong spot or someting else is out of adjustment in the master cylinder piston. Any ideas? Thanks.
