This might need to be a sticky on disc brake conversions

**I say this should be a sticky as I think this would help a lot of folks pulling their hair out trying to fix this issue**


So i just got done doing a 4 wheel disc conversion on my 64 c10 with a wilwood adj proportioning valve for the rear.

-bench bleed master cyl

-bleed brakes using the 2 person method in this order: lft rear (has longest amount of brake line), rt rear, rt front, lft front

-Can't get a good pedal until it's about 3 in off the floor.

Of course,I layed in bed and can't sleep try to figure out what i did wrong (as most of us do when we can't the solution to our problem and have to quit for the day....lol)
I found this on youtube this morning. The guy said most disc brake kits don't say a thing about doing this, I can tell you the auto city classic stuff doesn't.

YOU HAVE TO DRILL A NEW BRAKE PUSH ROD MOUNTING HOLE 1 IN
LOWER FROM THE ORIGINAL MOUNTING HOLE.

here's the link what he shows the difference in pedal travel:
