Barely any Brakes

Sounds like the original poster adjusted the brakes and they are better.

But.....a co-worker has a 73 340 4 speed Dart Sport that was painted 20 yrs ago. ($8000 paint job on a rust free NC car back then) It's been sitting ever since. It kills me that a car so nice has just been sitting waiting to be reassembled, it's so close. I spend a day or evening every now and then helping him to get it back on the road. Last time over there we attempted to bleed the brakes. We ran into a problem and I finally figured out the front flex hoses were blocked. This was after we removed, disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the distribution block. We reamed out the steel portion of the hoses that were blocked with rust and were able to get all 4 working. I tried to talk him into buying new hoses but he's anal about keeping the original stuff.

Haha, I tell him he still has to do the fuel system. Parked with a full tank 20 years ago. Yucchh!
Good Grief man that paint job wont look so good wrapped around a tree!
