Tom, on a related issue, I've got a leaking front caliper on my '76 which I'm rebuilding. However, the front m/c reservoir is full while the rear is empty, but I can find no leaks in the rear. Any ideas? (This is why I'm thinking of rebuilding my master).

If the rear res. is empty, the fluid is leaking into the booster. better fix it soon so as to not trash the booster. I posted a bunch of pictures a while back on how to rebuild a M/C. Will try to find it and add it to this thread.

I pulled the m/c away from the booster and it was dry so I don't think that's the problem. Thanks for the input, Duke.
