Good thought Herb. I will check
my calipers to be sure bleeder is at the right place. I know they are at
the top side, but may not be above the
cylinder....................MO

These conversion kits use popular, Not
necessarily correct, calipers that may not have the
bleeder at the correct or optimum angle for your application.
The caliper might have the bleeder mounted high But, the angle they
crammed it in to make everything work is still leaving air in the
system. Your best bet is to remove the caliper and use a piece of
wood or anything to represent your rotor and hold the
caliper, with the bleeder straight up by hand and then
re-bleed it. Just bought a project car for $1000.00 from a
frustrated guy that had a large amount of money into it, just to get it
out of his garage because he could not get anything but
mushy brakes for years. He said he had probably bleed a
couple of gallons of fluid through it over the years. He also
bought two kinds of power bleeders with no sucess. I got it home,
bleed all four calipers this way, Bingo Great pedal! And yes
it was air in the calipers because the kit had them mounted at a
different angle than the engineers had intended them to be. Just
sayin.

Manual brakes or power?
They gave me the 15/16” in the kit for manual – way too spongy for
manual brakes. Ended up with 1 1/32” but you can find them all the
way up to 1 1/8” in a stock type cast iron mc.
Are your calipers swapped side
to side maybe? The bleeder should be on the high
side.
Good trouble shooting info

15/16"
bore ....what size are u using/
What
diameter bore mc? I had to go larger than 15/16” to get good
peddle with front disc conversion.
62' Plymouth Valiant
modified
replaced the front drum brakes with a disc kit
(The Ram man)
long story short I have now (after many
attempts at bleeding )
isolated the front brake reservoir directly to
a tee and the front brake lines only
still no pressure and no leaks (this leads me
to a faulty master cylinder this will be the
3r)
i can pump the pedal about ten times to get
some feel but when i release it and re-try the pedal goes all the way to
the floor
any thoughts / input
appreciated
