I bought a 71 demon and the guy had changed the ft to big bolt disk, lines also, aftermarket stuff I think, he also replaced the master cylinder. Ok heres my problem the front brakes pump up and lock (full petal), so i put the car on the lift and loosen the ft bleeders and they release, a few days later they are on again with no one being in the car, is the master cyl rod to long? it,s manual brakes, anyone else have this problem?
thanks

Sounds like the rear piston in the MC isn't fully returning when the pedal is all the way up, most likely the pushrod is too long.

Stock type disc/drum master will have 2 different size fluid reservoirs. Drum/drum will be the same size.
