About a year ago I converted to vaccuum brakes. I heard so many good reasons why I should do it! I don't want to start a conflict about the PM versus Vaccuum, I just want to know if anyone has some tips on how to make the pedal feel better than my brother in laws 72 Chevy Pickup! (seriously!)
Ever since day one of this conversion I've been dissatified. I had a guy who is supposed to be a TR guru in my neck of the woods do it...I actually paid....I was lazy and had a job at the time, what can I say...
The pedal feel under quick braking or emergency braking has a initial hard feel and slight delay feel to it. I much preferred the PM feel to be honest with you. Also, when sitting at a light for more than a couple of minutes, I start to lose a little vaccuum and the pedal starts to fall unless I pump it up.
I've replaced the front calipers and new pads. Rebuilt the rear brakes, turned the drums etc. No air in the lines.
Are there high quality Master Cylinders out there or any other ideas? There's no way this should feel like this. Thanks!
