Barely any Brakes

It's not clear to me if you have a pedal, and it sinks to the floor?

If so, either a leak somewhere, or bad master --is bypassing internally

Or never had a pedal, and even after bleeding it went to the floor right away?

If the last, could be air, could be shoe adjustment, or possibly a bad master

Adjust the shoes up TIGHT so you cannot turn the wheels. Now see if you get a higher, fairly hard pedal. (Pedal firmness on power brakes can be subjective, as the power booster adds a certain amount of "mushy" to the feel)

I'm sorry I left out a few key things. The car has manual brakes with drums. I have not driven the car since I got it , it was trailered home cause the originally motor had problems, built the 340, now moving on so I can at least drive it.


I did not yet adjust the shoes, have only bled the brakes. I've always had a pedal its just barely providing any braking. I should adjust the shows first and go from there.
