:mad:
Okay, so I've searched just about every one of the 186 pages that came up when I searched for "brakes" on this site, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm just stupid or completely missing something.
I've got a '65 C10 with a 230 that I just redid virtually the entire brake system on -- new wheel cylinders/shoes/drums, lines, and converted the front to disc. I have a new power booster, M/C, proportioning valve, spindles, rotors, calipers and, of course, pads. I've bled and bled and bled and bled the system, adjusted this, tweaked that, and this truck STILL doesn't want to stop very much at all. It more or less thinks about it when I hit the pedal and then I guess it just figures it has nothing better to do. This change was prompted by first a rupture of the original rusted lines, and then the original M/C went out. With the original M/C, the pedal didn't have to be pressed very far at all to get a reaction out of the brakes, but now, with everything supposedly properly adjusted, I nearly go to the floor with the pedal before I get any reaction out of the brakes! Call me silly, but I'm certain that isn't right.
Now, here's the big question: the vacuum line. I have the vacuum line (rubber) hooked up to a spot on the intake manifold (as advised by a couple of people) that had a square-headed plug screwed in it. I really don't know if that is where it is supposed to be hooked up, and I really have no idea where else I
COULD hook it up...
Somebody, for the love of God and everything Holy, please, PLEASE help me! The idea of collecting insurance on an 'accident' is looking better and better...
