How do you bench bleed the master cylinder? Wouldn't the fluid leak out the bottom? I've rebuilt a bunch of these and never did that.

Hope this helps. If you need whole colored wire pdf. I can send you by email.

I've always thought Avantis look better without a grille. But, to protect the radiator, some kind of near-invisible grille is needed. It should be flat black, of low restriction, and just in front of the radiator. I'll have to fashion one for my '63 project Avanti, which came to me without one. -- Dwight

No holes and no grille. 3 options - try and find a factory grille, build a grille, or leave it out.

They need to remove the ad from the Club magazine.

what are the symptoms? Is it hard to turn the steering wheel to get any tire movement? Does the steering jerk hard in the direction that you turn? Have you checked the lines between the pump, control valve and cylinder to make sure there are no kinks. When replacing the control valve seals did you get the new seals oriented on the valve correctly? Could you have switched the lines between the ports on the components? Are there any leaks around any of the components? I know that you were careful in your work, but until you check these out, none of the rest of us can help you...for example when putting the cap back on the end of the control valve, did you get the set screw back to its original position? Could the new pump be bad? Please give us something more to go on than it is not working at all.

If you mean how would you install the stainless steel factory grille, you would only need to utilize the factory mounting holes in the fiberglass, which should already be there……I’m pretty sure every ‘83 Avanti left the factory with that stainless steel grille. If your car has had bodywork and the mounting holes for the grille were not drilled, it would be easy to drill the required grille mounting holes in the fiberglass.

Last I heard was that he was almost 90 years old. One can probably assume that the book is no longer available from him.

My 83 has no grille and I don’t see how one would be attached. Parts book isn’t much help. Looks like lots of options on materials. I’ve painted the air dam I got from Michael Phillips and was considering fabricating a grille as I was flopping around on the floor installing that. Mike

My power steering in my '72 is not working at all. I replaced the pump with a new one, installed the seal kit in the control valve and there are no leaks. I don't know how to tell which is suspect, the cylinder or the control valve.

I've never heard of not bench bleeding a M.C., and, although I'm not an expert, I've done my own brakes for 50 years. --Dwight
