·Coming home from work Monday night my brakes quite working on my 66
stang. The pedal feels like it hits the floor but probaly is just
maxing out its stroke. The stang has manual brakes, granada front
disc's and stock rear drums. The first pump goes straight down with no
resistence, each pump after makes the pedal firmer and firmer but the
car feels like the back brakes are the only pair working. The brakes
performed fine before Monday.
I limped home and looked at my master cylinder, the rear bowl was empty
so i filled it up, looked for any leaks (none found) and proceeded to
bleed the brakes. I found an air pocket on the front drivers side, but
then I bled the bowl dry. So I started over and proceeded more carefuly
and slowly the second time.I was not able to find another air pocket
and the pedal still felt limp. So today I bled the front lines again.
Went through a 32oz bottle and found no air pockets and still have a
limp pedal.
Does this mean my master cylinder is bad? Any recommendations on the
best priced dual bowl master cylinder?
