What all did you do to the brake system? I know I replaced all the flex-hoses, wheel cylinders, and the master cylinder. I had to make sure my shoes were actually pushed into the wheel cylinders all the way (so the pistons wouldn't be over extending). But I am also running a bona-fide stock setup.

Today I checked the brakes, shoe adjustment seems fine. I checked all of the connections. OK. I pumped the pedal, held it, then pulled the dual M/C cover off. I released the pedal and the rear resivoir spurted a fountain. Rear pressure check not working?

Sounds like you are losing all prime within the rear circuit. My guess is a check valve issue, if it's adjustable, adjust the residual pressure setting
up somewhat, if it isn't you need to replace it I think. Best is one that is manually adjustable so you can fine tune it.

Ken,
All parts are new.

Belated congratulations David! I've been away on vacation-just returned to PC access today. Anyway, I know that was the thrill you've been chomping at for so long-makes it all worth it, huh?

WELL DONE!
Gary
