I'd like to add one thing here. The service manual says to bleed the upper
cylinders first when you are bleeding the fronts.

Sounds like you still have air in the lines to me. You have to keep that res
full or there goes everything. Start at the passenger rear tire then drivers
side rear then passenger front and last drivers side front. Hope that is all
it is. If someone else already told the story Im sorry. Just got in and
tired.

Hey there everyone,
I tore my Booster apart, and relubed everything- Now it works great!!!
After much work trying to convert my 60 to a dual reservoir, I gave up! Part
of it was the MC that Kragen Auto Parts sold me(God only knows what year and
for what it fits, even though I asked for an 67 Newport Master Cylinder),
Part of it was not enough tech research done to determine if it could work,
even though I believe it could, and the rest was lack of time, Damn it, I
want to drive the car, not work on it. So I removed the dual, and replaced
it with the original singal resevoir MC. I tried to bleed with the wife
pumping 5X's and holding, but still not to my Satisfaction. The pedal
travels all the way to the floor, before the car stops. The brake pads are
adjusted out just before they rub. Still, thats a lot of pedal travel. I
adjusted the rod to FSM standards, but.... I saw Dicks comment in the
Archives about the power bleed setup, but I don't have a spare MC cap to
drill holes in. any other suggestions, comments on how far the pedal should
travel on a 60 with a working booster before the brakes catch, and how to
get them catching sooner?!?!.
Thanks soo much
