[FWDLK] 55 Dodge building up pressure in brake system



I had posted some time back that I was having a problem with my Dodge building up pressure in the brake system to the extent that it was causing the brake lights to come on and smoke brake shoes.  Mike Apfelbeck had the correct answer.  There is a compensator hole in the master cylinder casting that keep the pressure from building up with the pumping action and I was unaware of this.  I had rebuilt the one on the car with a kit and it stopped fine so I did not connect the dots but I should have.  A new master cylinder cured the problem.
