Better Stopping

[Gospel Runner]

After church today I bench bled the MC then after installing it, one of the new brake lines was leaking. I had to go back and make another one. I then bled each brake starting with the wheel furthest from the MC. I had to keep refilling the MC and it took forever. I will test it in the morning.

Hoorah!!! I can stop now! What a relief. I used the same MC, Booster, vacuum pump and canister. Just added the Dr. Diff brake kit and disc to drum proportioning valve. I can stop now! Thanks for all of the advice and technical assistance. I could not have achieved this success without you! I am going to Lebanon Valley this Saturday! Have a great evening and again, Thanks for all of the help!!!

That's awesome! Originally you had said your stopping power was next to none. With the new setup, does it stop as good as any modern car in terms of pedal feel and bite? I currently run Wilwood forged 4-piston calipers with an 11.75" rotor and have thought from time to time of going back to a single piston caliper like the Dr. Diff kit to improve stopping power. Slow down is fine with my car, but it doesn't stop on a dime.

At low speeds 40mph or less it works well, but it is not as efficient at high speeds. It is no where close to a modern car. I am going to bleed the brakes again after going to the track today, to see if that makes a difference.

It still sounds to me like your problem is in the booster assist area.
