Month or so back I started a thread about a Brake line leaking. Looked to be the one from the distribution block, that runs to the rear axle.
Had to do the Cataract surgery and that held me up.
Have had to add fluid to the Master every once in a while, the front section, so that is the rears.
Friday Iam under the truck, and notice fluid running down the edge of the inner plastic Fender. The MC is leaking between it and the Booster...great.
I did start that other thread, any one install a MC from a 87 - 91 on the older 250`s.
I want to deep six the old rusty leaky MC and upgrade to the new aluminum one.
Plus the universal Motive Power Bleeder makes a leaky mess.
Ok, now I guess I have to dive into this mod.
Picked up a new MC for 87 - 91, and Booster for the 86.
The holes on the MC are not quite wide enough to fit onto the 86 studs.
Had to file them out on ea side to slide on to fit.
Bench bled the MC, and installed it.
The rear port on the later trucks use an special valve adapter. Took it apart, gutted it and installed it. Bought a bushing for front port.
Will need to reverse the 2 brake lines.
OH great, the threads are different, won`t screw in.
No problem, I`ll make 2 new Break Lines.
removed front wheel, Battery and tray. Coolant Bottle and inner plastic fender.
Now I can get to where they connect to the distribution block.
Another "OH Great" they are so rusty they look to be one piece, and afraid they will twist off.
Did some Googling and it is the Proportioning Valve. didn`t know I had one.

So will be here this week some time.
This is as far as I got on this project. Truck is down for a bit.
Really happy I dug into this, as I didn`t know the rust at the block.
All the other Brake lines are not rusty. best to get this fixed, and not when Iam knee deep in snow.
Tomorrow Iam headed to PNP and grab every Brake Line fitting I can find.
NAPA and O`Really`s don`t have much of an inventory.
