Pedal to FLOOR, New Brake System on 58.
Moved this over from my "Remote Brake Master Cylinder" thread.
Need some help here...brake pedal goes to floor, brakes just start to engage at floor level. I did cut 2" off the brake pedal to shorten it, but there is still way too much travel. I clamped all the brake hoses with vise grips and have a rock hard pedal that has 1" of travel. So apparently the master cylinder is not the problem. Once again, completely new brake system under my 58 4x4: 1980 chevy 3/4 ton axles, disc front, drum rear. Performance Online booster/double MC/prop valve down on the frame. All new brake lines, wheel cylinders, calipers, rotors, drums ect. Back brakes adjusted close to drums. Vacuum bled all lines several times, no air bubbles. Thinking about trying residual valves.
