I have a 68 CAMARO that I have installed corvette C-6 front and rear disc brakes on and it seems after a short drive the pedal comes up to top and gets harder until back brakes are locked up on car.
wilwood master cylinder, new 3/16 lines (hard) , new stainless flex lines, 13" front directional rotors, 12" directional rear rotors, calipers are in good working order, After installing new system and bleeding with a hand vacuum pump brakes worked excellent for about 15 mins of driving then i noticed the pedal was getting harder and was grabbing sooner than before and the back brakes were starting to grab and lock up without touching the pedal at all . glad i was close to home as i pulled into driveway they seemed to lock up completely so i let them cool down overnight and in morning they felt ok , i did some reading here to see what i could find on this issue and saw that i may have overfilled the master cylinder so i removed some of the fluid to where it was about half full and replaced cover and tried again to drive car , same thing happened again i checked brake temp after about 10 mins of driving and fronts were about 115 deg, rears were around 300 deg. that tells me same problem is still happening I have a wilwood prop valve that i didnt install as tobin from Kore3 said i wouldn't need it... also i am running lines directly from m/c to calipers (2 seperate lines for front and a single line to rear flex line with spliter block) i dont have any type of factory block or any thing else in my system (if that makes any sense)
help! any ideas why this is happening? i really had planned on making it to the so. cal challenge today but due to this it dosent look like im gonna make this event thanks in advance everyone
