Re: Flipper turns keeper... 67 upgrades

Tomorrow I will finish up the inside of the doors, door gaskets, door panels, window tracks, and tint the side windows.

The stereo needs wired up, the compressor wiring will be completed, charge and test the AC system, and finish up a few loose ends.

The power brakes are giving me fits. I put discs on it first and left the manual drum drum master cylinder on it. It stopped great and straight but took a lot of pedal pressure.

While working on everything else I added the booster bracket, booster, and the new master cylinder the bled the entire system a couple of times and there is absolutely no air in the system.

Now it stops ok but takes crazy amount of pedal pressure. Worse than without the booster. Acts like the booster isn’t working at all and I have a ton of vacuum at the booster.

It still has the drum/drum proportioning valve on it. I had that on it when I did the disc conversion only and it stopped great. I don’t understand what could have gone wrong.

Any help is appreciated.
