Michigan Registration Question

You got drums on all 4?
No.. i wish i did.. i never once had a issue with drums, did a disc/drum upgrade.. mopar slider calipers, everything is new, ebc yellow pads (just trying to see if it would help) 3 different MC's.. the one now is a 15/16 from Cass.. Pedal ratio is 6:1.. i finally bought a pressure gauge and i'm only getting 400psi at the calipers and they need around 1000... haven't figured why. Bled it like 10 times now. New distro block and wilwood proportioning valve..

Some guys dump on drums but when setup properly they work great. Thought i would just do discs on this one. Ended up costing a ton for brakes that give a slight hint of slowing...

When i get my FFR cobra it felt like this.. on that one it was the pedal ratio...
 
only part i haven't changed twice now is the calipers.. even replaced the new flex lines to make sure they weren't a issue. would be pretty amazing if the calipers were somehow stopping the pressure :)

Could be the pedal ratio here too. I think (if my brain is right) it should be around 8 to 1. Maybe drill a small hole and mock it up and see what happens.

might try that.. everytrhing i have read says 6:1 and it was a manual brake care.. should already be correct, i did measure it 3 times though (i recheck a few times when i can't figure something out)
 

b-body '62....

What makes me mad is i have done this stuff on and off for a long time and this car keeps just doing **** that doesn't make sense :)_
Been there more than once. A 62 is out of my normal functions so I can't picture in my head the way the parts look. But at this point I'd try the pedal ratio deal.

yeah.. it feels just like my ffr did when i got it.. when i modded the brake pedal it could lock up all 4 tires.. gonna have to look up the mods, it's been like 27 years and my memory is crapola :)
 
Old cars suck. I've been loving my new Gen-3 cars....
naw.. i like old cars, i just built something i knew i would hate before i even started.. i will eventually change it back to more of a enjoyable cruiser :)
