1st I change from drum/drum to manual disc front/drum rear on the EB axles
2nd changed to full widths 44/9" with ford disc front/chevy disc(1/2 ton truck)rear.
I bought a new booster/MC from ebay. Mounted it all up and no good pedal!
I put the old f250 MC I was using w/manual disc(on the EB axles) and had a great pedal-problem was the rear brakes were dragging really bad...rear smoking after 1 mile run!
So I did what others said, and bought a lincoln MC from a '79 mark V. I could never get a good pedal. I bled,bled,and bled...still no luck! I counldn't even get the front to gravity bleed! So today, I thought I would try yet another lincoln MC from the store-thinking the one I had was faulty. I installed it, bled the system again...no F*cking brakes still. I even eliminated the H-block mounted to the frame using unions. Now there is just lines from the MC to the front and rear main brake lines(nothing else). I bled everything again-still no brakes. I have adjusted the pedal rod 'til it feels right over and over. Still no brakes. I have to pump atleast 4-5 times for a somewhat firm pedal, let it up and hit them again- no pedal!!
WTF
I would like to fix this today, gotta do some local wheeling tomorrow!!!!
