The peddle just does not even begin to apply braking until I'm a bit over half way to the floor ! To me, that's more than a bit unacceptable cuz there's not that much peddle left when I stop. Before I began this upgrade there was plenty of peddle but that was with 1949 technology, single chamber MC, and all the rest that was stock in 49.
My wrench guy is good but really frustrated and at a loss at what to do to improve the situation. Am I expecting too much here ? It just makes me goosey to be so near the floor before I get a firm stop. The MC was bench bled and all four wheels bled in succession. The MC and boost set up is from a 67 Corvette power brake system...all NIB. Disc front..drum rear. | | |
