hello all. i have a 91 fox lx hatch that runs mid 11's. i've recently installed a completely new brake system. it consists of a strange (mopar) manual master cylinder and aerospace 4 piston brakes at all four corners.
all the lines are new and there are no leaks. i moved the contact point for the master cylinder rod on the brake lever as indicated on the install instructions.
the system has a line lock on the front and i did not install a proportioning valve per skinny kid, who sold me the master cylinder kit.
the problem i'm having is that i cannot get the front brakes to work very well. with the line lock activated i can push the car by hitting the gas. the pedal feel is what i would consider good and firm.
i've bench bled the master cylinder and bled so much fluid through the lines that i'm on my second quart. i'm using dot 4 fluid.
the bleeders are on the top of the calipers (i think that is correct)
i'm at a loss here guys. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, rob
