Re: [Amc-list] Brakes, still not good

Mike,
 You should be able to adapt. SOunds like you still have air in the system. SOmetimes the MC gets a pocket you can't get out. I put an 89 cherokee MC in my 72 gremlin that has 4 wheel disks. I had to bleed the lines like 10 times before I had a good pedal.

Well, I have replaced all hoses and wheel cylinders in my '62 Rambler 
Classic. (Wagner Brakes) The brakes are still crap!!!! I adjusted each 
wheel until it drags, bled the wheels removing all bubbles and flushing 
lines until clean and still the pedal is low and I couldn't lock any 
wheel if my life depended on it. I know the previous owner had the M/C 
rebuilt by a mechanic last year, but I still suspect it to be leaking. 
These M/Cs are not cheap, even if you can find one. Here are my 
questions:

1. Can I substitute a Bendix M/C for the Wagner?

2. What about a power M/C in place of my manual one?

3. Should I just get a Mustang or Nova M/C and adapt? (I have done this 
in my Chevy truck and '53 Ford; they bot have great brakes)

Help me out here please, I need this thing to stop!  Thanks

Mike Klepp
