How's the flex line to the axle?
I bet it's taking IN air or air bound.
Or maybe you have a high spot that's trapping air.

Ok, this is simple, there is air in the lines or master. A very good
way to get around this is to rent a power bleeder, or use a vacuum,
or let it drip for 12 hrs. Hydraulics are both simple and frustrating.
Once the system is full of fluid, it will work right, if your petal goes
half way down to the floor, you have air in the system. Period! Done
deal. Get the air our, it works fine. (non withstanding a component
malfunction)

My issue is similar to Tim's. I have all new lines shoes, pads on the
front
etc. I went through 3 master cylinders before I found one that would let
the
fluid get to the back wheels. I bench bled every MC before installing. I
have
the 73 A body disc on the front so I got a MC for that car. When
bleeding the back brakes, my pedal only goes half way down. I get fluid
out of the back brakes but I've always thought that the pedal should go
to the
floor. Has anyone else that has changed over to front disc had the same
experience? I also used the prop. valve from the 73 car. Only thing I
did different
is to plumb in a line-loc for the front brakes.
