Greetings,
I worked on these awesome cars when I was in Highschool about 20 years ago and recently bought a fixer upper to work on with my son. Our first step is to replace the brake pads and cylinders which we have done and everything went together quite smoothly.
Here is my problem, I have bled and adjusted the brakes as my memory serves me and watching youtube videos has refreshed my memory but the pedal sinks all the way to the floor before engaging the brake at the tire.
I have checked all 4 tires and they all engage properly once the pedal hits the ground but this is not the way it should be.
What the heck am I missing?? I am sure it is something stupid. Before we began the pedal did engage correctly so it was definitely something I have done.
This is a totally stock (as far as the guts of the car) '72 standard bug
Thank you for your time!
