Have a '77 with disc front and drum rear. Duff power brake booster and just reinstalled the proportioning valve. I have zero leaks and bled the system per the tech manual to include pulling the front bleed pin of the proportioning valve.

The truck will stop but I have a LOT of pedal movement. The movement is not linkage slop and the push rod is also finely adjusted. If I slam on the brake I do not lock up or halt with a quickness like I should.

I noticed, when bleeding (one man kit) That it took about 13 pumps to fill the little 5oz canister on the right rear whereas the rear left took about only 5. Same thing with the front. Front right about 3 and front left about 10 pumps. Not sure but that seems weird to me.

Vacuum is good and pretty confident I got all the air out so does anyone have some troubleshooting suggestions for me?
