Ok. Adjusted the rear drums. They were pretty bad and even had some of the linkage sitting in the drum on the right side. Fixed all that and now.... I don't go to the floor on the pedal but I have no braking action until the halfway point on the pedal and then I have to really give it a LOT of force to coast to a stop.

The amount of travel past the halfway point is minimal 10 degrees or less I would say.

Basically my brakes feel exactly as they have for the past 8 years. No change with the addition of the proportioning valve or the adjustment of the booster.

HELP! I want brakes.

'77 351w- Explorer EFI, 4R70W, 4-link, lockers, 4.56, 35" MT/Rs with a severe rock addiction. Confused
