Re: Brakes need pumped to work, why?



Very good idea Herb, but I don't think we can put them in upside down due to the hose being so dang short.  At times I hate these boats, nothing ever works right.  LOL  But it may be posible if he has custom hoses and that would make the pedal go to the floor with all that air in it.

I converted to AAJ discs. Used a 1976 Dart  dual master cylinder. No
leaks anywhere.
 
I bench bled the master cylinder best I could.
 
I bled the brakes using a hose and check valve into a jar of brake
fliud. This works on all my other vehicles.  I ran quite a bit of
fluid through to make sure.
 
Brake pedal goes straight to floor but will pump up quickly and hold
pressure.  As soon as I let up and pedal comes all the way to the TOP
the brakes are gone again and need to be pumped.  If I just let up a
little I don't lose them.
 
I then gravity bled them all for a few hours..  Two rears at same
time , then two front at same time.
 
Still get the same result.
 
I thought I read something about the Dart M/C  losing pressure
somehow?  Or, is it air in m/c?  Bad m/c?
 
Any advice is great ...  I would loooove to drive this car oneday.
