Finished the brake job on my 34' Ford Coupe. New Mustang II 9" rotors/calipers/pads and rubber hoses. New MC 1" bore/Control Valve/2# Residual valves...Front/10# Residual valve rear and Rubber hose over rear axle.
It has a 7" booster and MC mounted under the floor. Can't seem to get all the air out of the system. Tried Mighty Vac and the old way of pedal pumping with assistant as I opened and closed individual bleeders.
How can I be sure all the air is out of the system? I've got good brakes but seems to me that they should be better. Pedal goes down quite far but not to the floor.
Should this 2700# car be able to lock up the brakes at 50 mph. on a black top road? It will lock up all four on a gravel road.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated!!!!
