Dude, don't take that thing off to bench bleed it! In fact, if you had it on the bench, I'd say put it on the car before bleeding it! Would you rather have a rickety screwdriver trying to push the piston in or a nice, stable pedal that's already hooked up to it? Bleed it till you have no more bubbles and hook your lines up and bleed the brakes and you're done!
I prefer to do it on the bench for cars like my Nova, but I have done it like you said before. My goal here was to try to reduce mess or spill over, and on the nova the master cylinder sits at a bit of an angle. In the vise its flat. I get what you're saying though, that's how I did my Dakota. Works great!
Grandnational doesn't do that bad with mods. Mine has 500hp on as close to stock build as you can get. When you start trying to make 10 second and less cars is when the trouble starts. Coil ignition and SFI fuel system is better than the distributor batch fire system. My 92 typhoon should be coming back in the next few weeks with a new wiring harness and built from scratch and a stock distributor deleted and sfi fuel injection system. I had so many issues with that ICM failing I got frustrated. My truck has some mods. Forged internals. ARP hardware. L35 heads. Transmission rebuild. I just want maybe a 400hp truck. I don't wanna 4l80e replace the Transmission and i don't want to LS swap it.
I know the 3.8's seem to have a bit more potential and are a little more tolerable to some mods (or so it seems). 400hp is a great goal without going over the edge and we're glad to hear you're not leaning towards an LS. We kinda feel it just turns into an S10/Sonoma at that point. You got a couple of cool rides for sure!
@@RacerXGarage I tell people remember the grandnational and typhoon/ syclone are the 1st modern muscle cars. We are starting to get a picture of how much electronics hold up after 30 to 40 years. I'm with you on if you keep the sy/tys stock they probably perform better. I think one of the main reasons the GM opted for batch fire over SFI fuel injection is when they decided not to use the buick 3.8 the only other turbo car was the pontiac sunbird which the turbo gauge was borrowed from. The sunbird was a four cylinder and since unlike sfi the cylinder count on batch fire fuel injection doesn't matter since the computer promps all the injectors to fire at the same time. Also I think the 200r4 transmission can handle more tourqe after its are built than the 700r4. Most grandnationals if they make 500hp the tourqe is usually close to 100 over the hp number. factory was 235hp and 350tq. So 500hp usually 600tq. I'm not sure on the sy/ty how the all wheel drive influences how the hp and tourqe is distributed. I heard 700r4 are good if built up to 500hp. I'm just looking for a street rod not a track car.
Love the Nova. It’s the reason I started watching your channel. The blue on blue is sweet.
Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't seen many with similar options, hope to get it back to the track for something pretty cool later this year.
good job master cylinder looks awesome , tell greg keep up the good work
Thanks as always Jerry!
Good morning!
Morning!!

I’ve spent more money on my 92 Typhoon than I did putting three kids through college. 😂😂😂😂😂
But I love it.
I can believe it! We love this one too!
