Re: New Brakes, It would be nice if they worked, 67 GMC
Today I opened all the bleeders for about 45 minutes keeping the master cylinder full, went through over a quart of brake fluid.
I then found a fellow to push the pedal for me and bled them, no air
(usually I'm by myself and use a jar and a hose to bleed each cylinder)
Checked the prop valve with a test light, it's ok
It has a full pedal, doesn't pump up
It stops ok, not great, I think it should lock the tires up in a panic stop.
I had a mid 80's Chevy that was similar in the braking dept. never liked it
When the seat comes back from upholstery I'll be able to put some more miles on it, If I don't see any improvement,
may put the rear drums on a brake lathe for a minor fast cut which should help the rear shoes seat better
Thanks for the help, Bud
