69 COPO brake problems

[69 Code51 Z]

Check you make sure you have the calipers on the correct side - made this mistake once when converting a drum car to disc and had a heck of a time figuring it out. Carl

Thanks everyone!!..I'll start checking all this stuff out. I'll post what I find.

Heres what I know:
Calipers are on correct sides..bleeders on top
Hoses are new
Master and prop valve have been rebuilt( Micky Hale )
Booster is a new repro..(looking for a nice original now)I am unsure about the rod length though..how do you adjust it? what parameters?

I would disconect the rod first and see if it realeased the pressure. If it does, just shorten the rod. I had this problem once. m

I would go with the rod issue, been there fought that!!

Bob the booster is actually a nice piece!..had the rod that attaches to the pedal too long and was not releasing the master!!..a 1/4 inch did the trick!..as for racing that crazy Bulgarian..no way!! he has more tricks up his sleeve than a magician ..and I like the idea of a "driver" LS-6..wish I had something I could drive and get dirty Get that car done..been waiting to see it for over a year now..my spare 512 block is going in that car!!
