Re: Adding Power Brakes to 66 can't get bleed or any pedal

I checked all the brake shoes tonight and tightened them up against the drums. Drilled the hole in the brake pedal, that brought the bottoming out up from the floor but still bottoming out. This is the second MC I have put on this, both doing the same thing, cannot seem to build any pressure. I have used the traditional gravity flow method, the pump and hold while squirting out fluid and tonight I used the pumping into a bottle at each corner and probably ran 2 bottles of fluid through the system and still, no pedal. Just bottoms out and if you put the car in a gear, the brakes will not even hold the truck still, that is how bad they are. The brakes are all new and were done prior to me wanting to put power brakes and dual reservour. This is driving me crazy I am ready to either get rid of the truck or get rid of the father in law!
