What a day...Took my 40 ford out on the street for the first time today,,,went about 5 miles turned around and was headed back to the house. The 40 felt really sluggish coming back home...thought I was having tranny trouble,,pulled off to the side of the road, checked tranny fluid it was at the full level.then got to thinking about the rear brakes,,,sure enough hotter than Hades...
Brakes system is 4 wheel discs ..Mustang II in the front.and Nova rear end with Cadillac Seville Disc brake conversion
Booster and master cylinder are under the floor with the following attached....see attached photo
Have the 2lb residual valve for the front and 2 lb residual valve in the rear
was able to get it back home by removing tires and opening bleeders and pushing on pads releasing the brake fluid and re-tighting the bleeders. I suspect that the 2lb residual valve for the rear is the culprit. I ran discs brakes before without any residual valves.. Might go out and remove the rear residual valve but before I do I was curious to what are your thoughts on this problem..Thanks FATnLOW
