Not enough vacuum for brakes?

did you not say you installed f body brakes and the bleeders are on the bottom??? if so the calipers are on the wrong sides, you cant bleed them nipple on the bottom. has to be pointed up.

take them both off, and swap sides, then bleed the brakes again.

got the calipers on with the bleeders up?

mushy pedal is a bad master, a leak, or needs to be bleed, hard pedal is the booster not working. or not getting vacuum.

turn the car off pump the pedal, it gets hard, thats what no vacuum to the booster feels like.

back to this quote then, pull the vac line off the booster, see if you got vacuum on the line, car should stall once it open to air.

I will check that when I get home. I should also mention that the brakes work good when the car is in higher rpms, but down at idle they get rock hard. however if you're cruising at 2k+ rpms the brakes get life back into them. as the RPMs drop they get harder and harder
