Brakes broke
Ok the brakes have never been what I would call great.The other day a hose burst on the front,and I changed it,and the master cylinder was leaking,so I changed it out as well.
Whern stopping the brakes are fine,but under hard braking,it's like the booster is weak,and after a split second the pedal feels softer,and the brakes apply harder.I have to let the pressure up to avoid lockup. Is the proprtioning valve going,or the booster ,or something else? Thanks

I got it at oriellys.It works like I said,but seems really hard to push.
The MC is only a week old.And I did bench bleed it before i put it on.And all the old fluid has been changed also.

Is this your 71 or the 67? Need to know cause the 67 did not have a proportioning valve.
