Can anyone tell me if they hace pit a 4 spd auto in an xr 1966. I have one in my ute and think it maybe at the wrong agle for the box to tailshaft. Its possible someone couldnt get it up into the tunnel enough. Do xr xt xw xy have different tunnel sizes as in bigger than xr?

Up to XP i think was the auto + manual tunnels . XR is same as all other Falcons . A T400 fits right in XR as does a C6

DID YOU BENCH BLEED the master cyl before hooking the lines up? video here it's a must do for new master cyls. XF brakes should be fine, when working. if it's a master issue, it will still be an issue on 6 pots, so you need to confirm that is the ussue. My best method for bleeding brakes now (on my own) is to get a LONG piece of fish tank bubbler hose, or similar clear 1/4 inch ish hose (bunnings even sold it last i bought)and a bit of rubber hose that fits it tight and to the bleeder nipple. and i basically pump the pedal slowly and if the fluid is all brand new you can even return it to the reservoir in a loop and keep pumping until no bubbles show. i'll draw you a fine picture with windows paint if you need an illustration. otherwise you need to keep topping up the reservoir to avoid sucking air when it's low. do this for the 4 corners and it's been the only way i've been certain there's no air in the lines. those suction one's haven't worked for a few people i know, so it's something you can try before going further. A mate of mine just got a 1996 master cyl (original) from a wreck at the wreckers, it was clean so he's just fitted it and it worked. 20yrs ago i was blasted for using second hand good quality ball joints in something compared to new crap we are talking about here. which later i finally tried and they could have caused a serious accident (i tagged you but i'll link here also)

bumping this for new members @Crebe (quality of protex brake master cyl)

Buy from china/india for 0.50c each, put in shipping container. Ship to Australia. Unload shipping container, sell to plebs for 10,000% markup? To my knowledge, there's no real regulation of suspension/brake/general auto parts here in Aus, so they don't much care... Even a 50% failure rate = still making money, it's very much buyer beware IMO. (case-in-point - see @deankxf's experience with suspension components)
