Sorry if I keep changing the story on you. It's been 8 years since I have driven or worked on this car. My memory is a bit fuzzy as I have changed it around more than twice.
Here is what I DO remember (and what I saw today). I remember that it is 1" bore, from a disc/drum application, somewhere in the late 70s or early 80s. It has ports on the engine side, and is definitely aluminum.
I think I am going to heed the advice given earlier and do a pressure check after I bleed them once more (eight years... might as well make sure).

Here is the distribution block/prop valve combo:
I think I will look for a brake line pressure kit. Oh... I had originally installed a 74 Maverick MC, but later switched to an aluminum MC from an 84 SVO.

The master cylinder is a disc/drum master cylinder. I took the time to research as I wanted an aluminum one. I don't remember the exact application, but it was a manual disc/drum application.
The adjustable prop valve has replaced the stock one. Can I post a link? Didn't want to break any rules in my first few posts.

Non-power brakes. I procured stock 1970 spindles. I bought everything else new (I'm sure the calipers were rebuilds). Master cylinder is 1". Prop valve is an adjustable SSBC unit.

So I have a 1970 Mustang. It came with drum/drum non-power brakes. I upgraded the front to stock disc brakes with an appropriate master cylinder and prop valve. I expected to be able to feel a difference... no, not really. I've bled them over and over. Still not feeling it. The brakes don't lock up at all.
So, before I go and yank it all off, I wanted to know if there is anything I should be looking for that could cause this issue?
