Brake pedal issue after conversion to power assist from manual on 1969
Guys need your help. To explain it best, I bought a new conversion kit from eBay to convert manual to power assist. I hooked it all up today and ran the power booster hose to the back of the carb. I added the nipple for that. The issue now is that I have about one inch of pedal travel, and the brakes grab so hard it will throw u into the dash if you did not have a seat belt on. I called the guy who I purchased that kit from and he showed me how to adjust the booster which I did to the most, brakes are slightly less grabby now but the pedal is still tight and only moves about an inch and it really grabs. Ok so..... Why? Is this normal? I mean the brakes are really touchy. And the set up has a 8.5 booster dual he said that is the best and a heavy duty unit. I don't really know since first for me. Anyway thoughts? Btw also bleed the system like crazy and also bench bleed the master.
Thanks! Kris
