      Brake Help

      I converted my 65 GTO from drums to 4 wheel discs. Got a new master and booster, new distribution block and Wilwood proportioning valve. Front brakes are SSBC and rears from a S15 truck.

      I’ve done this conversion on a few cars in the past with no issues. On my 65 however:
      I have a good firm pedal (maybe a little too firm)
      The brakes seem to work fine for regular stopping
      A not quite as good in some cases, but bearable.
      Now my problem:
      I took the car out today on the back roads got on her good and tried to do some emergency braking. The car didn’t brake well at all, the pedal was down but the car didn’t slowdown quickly at all. Basically took its time.



      What did I do wrong? Any suggestions?
