C5 brakes - 15/16" manual master - high effort & travel in pedal
70’ chevelle originally all drum car
Swapped in C5 discs/calipers all corners
Prop valve installed on rear line after distr block
77’ Malibu manual master 15/16” bore
Push rod correctly adjusted AFTER bleeding brakes (push rod was pre-loading master piston during bleeding of brakes)
Bench bled master
Took the car out the other night after finishing the swap. The brakes work, but not to my liking. Pedal travel is several inches. If I look under the dash and push on pedal with my hand, master piston depresses into bore about ¾”. I have to stand on the pedal with both feet in order to get the car to stop in a hurry. I can't get brakes to lock up.
Either I have air in the system, bad master?, or I need a smaller bore size. Thoughts?
