After market CPP Master Cylinder with Booster mounted on my '58 Impala. Inserted the M/C bleed kit then pumped and pumped til my legs gave out. Called Classic Industries tech line who said that the proportioning valve may be stick. Told him brake lines weren't connected so he said I to call CPP which I did and was put on hold for over an hour. In the mean time decided to pull the unit off the Impala and bench test the M/C. Disconnected the booster off and discovered a piston rod that's suppose to be between the M/C and booster was missing. Got a long 5/8" bolt then chucked it in the lathe and machined a piston rod then inserted it between the M/C and booster. Mounted the unit and now all is good, bled the brakes and wife is a happy camper. All this was done while on hold with CPP who then answered the line.
Told the Tech what I found and he said I must have dropped and lost the piston. Instructed me to take pictures of the M/C and booster separatedly and email to him. Then he'll mail me a replacement but I have to cover the postage. WHAT???
Rather than argue that piston was never there, decided just to send the pictures. I no longer need the piston but decided to get it anyway. Now waiting for him to call back so I can give my my CC numbers.
