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.

I posted this at Forwardlook as those guys have a lot of AAJ brake
conversions, but got no response.
I bought the same kit for my 300 as I did with the Newport ( both
'62's) the only difference being the 300 has power brakes and the Newport
has non power.
I converted to AAJ. 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?
