And Chris (Delancy) who posted that is a really good guy. If you need someone to go look at it for you, he would do it and could be trusted.

Brake Master Cylinder....I've gotten two bad ones from CruiserCorps, OR something on my truck is killing them at install...
Any ideas? Do I need to change out the proportioning valve since I converted to discs on the back?
I'm thinking that I may need to adjust the plunger/rod depth vs the stock/OEM setup? Anybody have any experience here?

I just got one from NAPA for my 77 and it works fine... I also have rear disc with no proportioning valve... When I swapped in rear disc had to take a small plastic thing (don't know what it's called) out of the master cylinder where the rear brake line comes out...
I'm sure I confused you more than helped you...

Rear reflectors...
Can't find anything specific on exactly where these go.
Thinking this is close enough. Anybody got a pic of their 40 that shows these?

Great lines.
I've got a weird issue with the 40.
Finally got the brakes figured out, and was able to drive it for longer than a couple minutes.
After the engine warms up, I get a really low idle, almost to the point where it wants to die. And it DOES die every time that I brake.
I would assume this is a vacuum leak, right? But I can't find anything that's loose or missing??

Is timing ok?
A buddy and I set it with a timing light, but that was way back...
Maybe I need to have that done by an actual mechanic?

I would try and set and readjust yourself to see if it helps at all.
Definitely a bad booster or a vacuum leak near it...
I can let the truck run for a minute, then shut it off, and when I press the brake pedal, hear a hissing as all the air leaves the booster.
New grommet, check valve, and hose on the way. Hoping spending $60 will save me the hassle of finding and installing another booster.

Hot Damn
Chris put a mini truck booster on his I think. Maybe he will shed some light on the subject. Works fine.
Me too. Works great even with front & rear discs.
Details? Is it as simple as unbolt then bolt or is there some fabbing involved.
