Need Help With My Brakes!!!!

Hi guys, i got a problem ive been trying to solve for a couple months now. I have a 70 c10 that i put 71 spindles on. I bought new rotors and a cpp proportioning valve for disk/drum. The master cylinder is new. Now the problem im having is that i dont really have any brakes. M pedal is a little stiff but when i press down it goes to the floor. It does stop but barely. I dont know if i dont have enough vacuum for the booster or what, i have the vacuum line going to make intake which is a edelbrock rpm air-gap. Also i have a comp cams thumper cam which says its not suppose to affect the vacuum too much. If i could get some help that would be great!

Have you tried to bleed your brake system?

Re: Need Help With My Brakes!!!!

yea ive bleed it at least 5 or 6 times. Is there a difference between a disk/drum master cylinder and a drum/drum master cylinder?

Re: Need Help With My Brakes!!!!

This combo on ebay says its will work for 67-72 trucks disk/disk, disk/drum and drum/drum. Im wondering what is the difference between this one and my stock one, other than the booster size.
