Restoration / Pressure relief valve
« on: June 22, 2008, 01:26:55 PM »
I was at GM Nationals at Carlisle yesterday and noticed that the round Pressure relief valve under the Master cylinder was different on the 67 camaro's than the 68-69 camaro's. Is there a difference or is this a aftermarket issue.  In all the parts catalogs, they list only one valve and state for the 67-69 camaro's.  What is correct for the 67 camaro, big block, drum/disc car.  Does anyone have the correct one for sale?   thanks Pete

Back again, No breaks yet.  Contacted Heartbeat City, They will not put the check valve in the MC stating liability issue. Advised the manual calls for a check valve in the MC on the back for the rear drum breaks.  They gave us the option to send back for refund. Problem is to do the car right, need the WT code MC.  What do I do.  I ordered a MC rebuild kit, only way to get the check valves.  Opinions on what to do.  Keep MC and put in the valve myself or disreguard?  Question:  I understand you use a fitting to press in the new valve and brass fitting.  What is to correct way to get the old one out without damaging the MC.  I also temporally eleminated the round pressure valve under the MC and now get fluid to the calipers. Still does not appear to build pressure. With the vacuum pump, I keep getting air.  I have gone over ALL the fittings and they are tight.  Is there an issue with stroke?  where else could I be getting all the air.   Any help appreicated   Pete

Thanks for the reply. Here is where I am now.  First, this is the second mc . the first one leaked out the back spool and ran down the booster. It had a check valve in both ends. If I understand correctly, being a disc/drum car, only the back one should have the check valve.  Now the second one, also a WT code for the 67 camaro does not leak, but has no check valves on either end. Will call heartbeat tomorrow. I believe these were the only two WT code they had. I have attempted to gravity bleed, pump pedal, and vacuum bleed this car. The back bled well, I cannot get any fluid out the front, which are also $600 original/rebuilt calipers with the 2 piece rotors. What I have learned but don't understand is the round valve under the master cylinder, which is also new. The manual says to push the back of this valve to release while bleeding. Mine won't move, the rod only spins. I did notice the intake side was wet with fluid, and the output side was bone dry. I attempted to blow air through and went up to 100 psi in 10 psi graduates with the valve never letting any air through.  The complete break system on this car is new or expensivly rebuilt.  JUST DON'T WORK.   Any advice will be appreciated.  Pete  One more thing, I backed off the adjustment rod inside the car from the booster to the pedal, I adjusted till I have appox 1/4" travel before moving spools in MC.  Pete

John, This is a camaro my son and I are restoring. We are at the brake issue, then front end alignment, then the front walk away.  These are all new parts.  The master cylinder was purchased from  Heartbeat City and the Pressure valve from The Riight Stuff.  Question is How is the pressure valve suppose to work and at what pressure should it open.  By the way, the master cylinder does not appear  to have a check valve on either end.

Having trouble getting breaks on this 67 camaro. Got the back to bleed, but cannot get the front disc to bleed.  Have tried pumping also using a vacum pump. I read in the book that when bleeding,  the pressure valve directly under the master cylinder , you should depress the back side. Mine will not move. I noticied the intake side is wet, but the outlet is dry. I even attempted to apply air to see it will open. I was up to 80 psi and nothing.  What is the proper way to test and at what pressure?  Also, I bought a correct rebuilt "WT" code master cylinder. being my car is disc/drum, should there be check valves in the master cylinder and if so, on which end, front or back, or both.  Any help will be appreciated.  Pete

Thanks. I'm in the process of trying to find a good set of valve covers with the wire loom in front of the first bolt.  Thanks again.

What is correct for a 67 camaro, 396/325 regarding the valve cover plug wire loom at the back on the drivers side.  Our new covers has the straight bracket on both covers, but the drivers side interferes with the wiper motor. As I understand, the wiper motor is also unique to the 67.  Was there a change for the 68/69 bb cars.  The assy manual shows a bracket further ahead on the drivers side.  I can't find that option in any of the parts catalogs.  thanks  Pete
