I'm not sure about the exact origins of the master cylinder in my car ('66
Corsa converted to dual master), but I pulled it from a '69 that was being
junked. Took the entire package -- bracket, lines, differential pressure
switch, etc. -- including the master cylinder. This master has bleeder
screws right at the outlet ports! I didn't have to fool with bench
bleeding or any other such nonsense -- just bleed it at the ports and got
all the air out of the master cylinder then when around and did the
wheels. Worked just fine, even with DOT 5 brake fluid.
Now my question is, did any Corvair come with master cylinders with bleeder
screws? Or is this an aftermarket replacement? In any case, it works just
fine.
