The problem:
Just installed new 4 wheel disc brakes all around, have run about a gallon of brake fluid while bleeding through the system, I did bench bleed the Master cylinder(3 times on the bronco and the last time with a bench vice). The pedal is still "squishy" will bottom out on first stroke and gets hard with about the third push. After about 10 seconds the system loses pressure and it takes another 3 pumps to get a good pedal feel.
I'm at a loss I have no idea why this isn't working and am literally about to push this thing off the nearest cliff! Any advice to help prevent me from getting rid of my project is welcome.
Here are the stats: F150 disc brakes up front w/ thunderbird calipers, Chevy disc brakes out back from TSMMFG.COM, new(rebuilt) 4 wheel Manual disc brake Lincoln Mark V master cylinder, with stock 1974 Bronco Manual push rod, new rubber hose all around, stock H block as the splitter.
Thanks in Advance,
Chris
