Everything seems to be working well after the rebuild...except for the brakes. The pedal has to go to the floor to get any kind of stopping (very minimal at that). I've bled the brakes twice now (the front calipers were removed during the rebuild). The first time, I just bled the fronts. The second time I did the backs as well. I followed the bleeding procedure in the manual, but I still have no bakes. Also, the brake indicator light stays lit.
I checked the vacuum line that runs to the brake booster and it seems like it has enough suction (you can hear it when it's unhooked and it grabs your finger if you put it up to it). Also, if you are at idle and pump the brake several times, it starts to firm up a little bit.
Would you say I still have air in the lines, or do I not have enough vacuum? I did put a different cam in during the rebuild (383 stroker), but I think it should have enough vacuum. The manualis a little vague on the vacuum information.
Thanks!!!
