We've tried everything we can think of. We need your help.
I have a '74 with a 302 and C4. I did the Chevy front disc conversion (new parts) and added a new brake booster.
My current problem is a large lack of stopping power. The pedal feels ok (a little mushy) and applies pressure to the brakes but not enough to make me comfortable with it on the road. Even at as little as 20mph I can slam on the brakes and it creeps to a stop. It's currently impossible to lock up the brakes at all. It's bad enough right now that I don't trust it on the road at all.
I've replaced:
Master cylinder
Proportioning valve
Flex lines to calipers
Front pads
Interior rear drum parts
I bench bled the master cylinder and have bled the air out of the lines at the brakes several times. There are currently no visible leaks or compromises in the lines.
I don't know what else to do. Please help. I need to be able to stop. Thanks!
