Brake problems...

[mobius122]

I need some advice on my brakes...I just put a new 306 in my 89 GT this weekend. My brakes were bad before the motor swap. They feel like I don't have enough pressure when I push on the pedal. Anyway, I thought my master cylinder was shot so I bought a new one. I bled all four really good, but I still don't have enough pressure when the pedal is pressed. I can pull the vacuum line off of the booster and feel vacuum. Do you guys think my booster is junk? Should I just try to re-bleed them again? Basically, my pedal never gets quite hard enough and you have to stomp them to stop. It is drivable but I'm going to let it sit until this is straightened out. Any help would be appreciated.

the booster could be suspect. Did you bench bleed the MC before you put it in? Also check to make sure all your lines are in tact and your rear brakes are adjusted properly

hey monkey,

Yeah, i bench bled the mc before installing it. all the lines look good and no leaks anywhere.
