Let me explain the brake system on my car.
Originally all Drums, manual brakes
Now
- Manual brakes
- 74 Maverick Master Cyl for Manual Disc/Drums (AutoZone)
- Proportioning valve from Disc/Drum Mustang donor car.
- Fatman 2.5" drop spindles which require:
-- 78 Granada Rotors/Bearings/Seals/Caps (Rockauto)
-- 78 Camaro Calipers (from Camaro Donor Car) (I hated doing that)
-- Carbon Metallic Brake Pads (AutoZone)
- Rear Shoes (AutoZone)
- Rear Brakes are stock 9" 10"x2"
I've blead it 100 times
Bleed ports are on top
My pedal is still way too soft. It feels like my rear brakes are working harder than my front brakes. Any suggestions?
Do I need a residual valve for the rear brakes?
The front brake lines are from a donor car too. I'm going to replace them because weak/swelling lines can cause a soft pedal but... to me it seems more than that.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
