Thanks for your responses.  Got a master cylinder from RockAuto since no one seems to carry them locally.  It's scheduled to be installed tomorrow.  I'll let you know if that solves the problem!

Defiantly do a visual check for fluid leaks at each wheel and the distribution block. If there is no sign of a leak then it is likely to be the master cylinder.

Sounds like the master to me, might also be a leaky caliper or wheel cylinder.

Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires / Bad master cylinder?
Last post by vangremlin - October 26, 2025, 09:58:27 PM
So on my 1980 2 door sedan, I'm having an issue with the brakes. 95% of the time they work fine. About once per trip, when I apply the brakes, the pedal goes lower than normal (not to the floor) and isn't as firm. If I let off the pedal and apply the brakes again, they act normal. Been doing it for awhile. I had the brakes bled, and it still does it. Does this sound like a problem with the master cylinder?  Thanks in advance.

My advice would be to let this be a long term project. These cars can be hard to find parts for and it takes time.
Welcome to the forum!

Hello everyone,
My husband has had an 82 sx4 since before we met and we are finally getting serious about restoring it. Any tips and insight shared will be much appreciated. I am however particularly looking for resources and info on back windows and back windshield louvers. I'm sure I'll have more inquiries but share whatever you felt was helpful with your own efforts!

That Eagle looks great for a WI car. Where abouts in WI did you find it?

I've had my Eagle for nearly 9 years, but there was a time in the middle where I sold it. Mine is a daily driver for me and they are great cars!
