Hello!
Ive got a 66 coupe v8 car that im doing the granada swap on. I got it all together and have no front brakes at all just rear. Upgraded the suspension and steering too while i had stuff apart. I got a setup offa craigslist that came w complete spindles, the mc/booster, and the prop valve. I got new bearings/seals, rotors, calipers, hoses, and pads. No front brakes at all. Ive bled the mc and the lines many times in the correct order. I have the calipers in the right postions to bleed. Pedal just goes almost to the floor where the rear brakes catch. There are no fluid leaks n everything is tight. prop valve is hooked up correctly and working, i can bleed all 4. Did it myself w the vacuum bleeder and old school with the wife pushing the brakes. Neither has worked n im stumped. Almost ready to take it to the shop.
Im thinking bad prop valve or mc. On a long shot- the new pads are super thick and the caliper sleeve is recessed so far its flush w the body. Any chance its in so far the fluid cant push it out? It looks like it may be so far in its covering the bleeder inside the caliper body. Seals are good and i took the calipers off and they do compress, but theres no contact w the rotor. Ive went back n forth in the driveway testing the brakes.
Idears?
thanks
