Re: 10.1 brake question

I did that upgrade on my 82 Cabby. I just dropped the 10.1's on and bled
em. I havent had a chance to drive it much, but the brake pedal action is
a little strange, but other than that it stops like mad. I have yet to
change out the master clyn even tho it is prolly the original one. with
145k on it.
