New brake install

There was quite a bit trapped in the calipers. Still trying to figure out why the pedal sinks so much when I fire up the engine.
 
Brakes suck ***! So I’m swapping the linkage and booster out as the pedal drops a lot when the engine is running. Speaking of that, this 6.1 has NO power. Won’t burn the tires, feels sluggish and the engine dance around at idle. Ordered new coil packs cause of the P0300 random misfires. That should do it, hopefully.
 
After swapping the linkage at the brake pedal, I’ve got brakes. The rears lock up before the front but the proportioning valve I have coming from Dr Diff will fix that.
 
This is the linkage for b bodies with power brakes. The e body is the same, but the rod that goes to the pedal is a 1/4-3/8’s longer on a b body. Pirate Jack sent both, I just used the wrong one.
