You really nee d to give more info:
From your other posts you indicate you have non stock brakes. What master are you using? I am guessing the bore is too small. Cardone ,PN-131498 is a stock master cylinder.

Hello Smiley,The rear drum diameter is 11 inches.The shoe width is 2.5 inches wide.The front brakes appear to be standard Camaro,Monte Carlo style,11 inch rotors,single piston.The master cylinder was purchased from Advanced Auto parts,Cardone ,PN-131498.The master cyl bore size is .750.The front brakes were on the car when I acquired it.Dont know EXACTLY what the front brakes are off of.I have 2 sets of rear wheel cylinders from 2 different 9 " Ford rearends that are/were laying around.One rearend has a 1" wheel cyl bore with 2.5 shoes and the other 9" has a 15/16 (.940) wheel cyl bore with a shoe width of 2.25.I e-mailed Master Power brakes and they said either size wheel cyl bore will work fine.Naturally I'm concerned about spinning the car around in a panic stop or even everyday driving.Not being a expert in brakes I'm looking for answers from anyone who may have the same Front and Rear brake setup on there Vega or Monza and what they used on there car.Thanks
