Do you have a proportioning valve? And is there a residual pressure vavle in your rear lines? Some replacement brake cylinders have them,and some don't. The originals didn't.

Previously I'd asked if a single pot push enough fliud to work the front discs. The answer was yes. The reason I'd asked as I had no pedal but if I clamped both front rubber lines I had pedal.
I converted to a '76 Dart M/C for power disc/drums. I still have the same issue. No pedal unless I clamp off the two front caliper hoses.Strange thing is, without the clamp and no pressure on the pedal, there is a tiny bit of pressure on the discs so they don't spin completely free, like the pressue is there, but I get pedal all the way to the floor. Then it'll rise back up.--
There appears to be enough natural pedal travel. It looks like the correct style booster.
I bleed the heck out of the m/c and all the lines. I used a Mityvac as well. Calipers are installed correctly, I used the same kit on my non-boosted Newport,works fine.
Why would blocking the calipers off give me pedal?
