ok heres my saga, i swapped to 4 wheel disc & since then the brakes are soft ( i havent driven the car since last fall, so im not completly sure, but i know they werent this soft)

last night we bleed all 4 lines & they are still soft
we did not bleed the MC thou, im thinking that might be it, i do have a new one i can put on
the booster is getting vacuum, i checked that cause i also put on the HSR
pumping them first doesnt really seem to make much diff, that i can tell

if i broke the lines from the MC to the prop valve, would i need to bleed the MC, as i recall i shouldnt have to, but its been awhile

i am still using the prop valve from the drum rear end, as the replacement that i got yesterday (from a 4 wheel disc brake car), 2 of the fittings are fine thread instead of course.

any ideas/suggestions
thanxs

I would find the right Properational valve. Then bleed and see if you still have the same problem.

Having wrong parts on brakes is not the way to go. Just my 2 cents.
