    CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES,,,,,,COME ON.....

    good news all my 8yr or longer running braking issues are Gonzo!  I removed the MC, Bench Bled it AGAIN, then once it was brought to my attention that the lines were Reversed (I dont know how i missed that after all my frustrated attempts to rectify)-------(fyi folks, dont seek help from just any techs, the help I was getting years ago has failed me more than once------including diagnosing a bad booster!).....
    but yeah, corrected the lines yesterday and did a quick bleed and the pedal has Never been Better!.....Im especially liking the Dual Piston PBR calipers. 

    I cant believe all these years!

    Thanks to All, once again this Forum and the Members in it have been a tremendous Help!

    COOL.  Glad we could help.  It is scary to know that you been driving like that for 8 years with your brakes not hooked up properly.

    You lost me here. "Most" Ford cast iron/alum. master cylinders have a large bowl to the rear (firewall side) is for the front brakes and the front smaller bowl is for the rear drum brakes.
    Can you take a pic?

    Glen, you may have missed the earlier posts where we got that rectified.  He had it plumbed backwards plus the booster output shaft was way too short.  ABDFI
