I have the "old Irish Dave" power booster and dual circuit corvette master cylinder in for a while now. Its been great but right from the word go Ive had a fair bit of travel in the pedal before it takes up, works ok though. The other week I decided to adjust the pedal so it was a bit lower to the floor by putting a bigger rubber stopper and adjusting the rod to suit it , wasn't a big change 1/2". I know that I didnt have a lot of freeplay but I thought it would be fine because of the amount that it takes to take up with the booster working. Brakes worked great. However when I pulled into my garage I noticed the brake lights still on ..Bugger! the brakes had "energized" and where partially on. I adjusted the pedal back to roughly where it was the next day and left it for a week or so. Jumped in and the pedal was going waaaay down ! I had a look at the fluid and the level is the same , fluid is cloudy ? I cant see any leaks from wheels cylinders etc even when I pulled the master cylinder away from the booster no evidence of fluid in there... Brakes are all adjusted fine.. SO whats the deal???

Does anyone know what year the master cyl is that is used and what bore size, where would I find another one with the 4 way outlets ?

Thanks guys..
