hi all,
i have a '72 FJ55. i did the rear disc brake conversion, put the '84 monte carlo calipers and pads on, did a front axle swap with a '78 FJ55 with disc brakes, replaced my brake booster, master cylinder ('78 version), and most of my brake lines and hoses.
put it all together, bled it, tightened things up some more, tested it out.
it stops better than before, but i can't get the brakes to lock up, and i have to double-pump still for effective braking. on the second pump the pedal goes half way down and is solid, but the brakes still aren't great.
any ideas? bleed more? or am i just expecting too much? 4 wheel disc brakes with a brand new booster and master cylinder should be able to lock the wheels no?
