1968 cougar low brake pedal issue

[2006fltr]

Hello to all on the community,

i have a 1968 cougar that i just did a full restoration on the engine bay, powertrain and braking system.

I am also having issues with a low brake pedal and my car is a factory p.s., p.b., a’/c car. i purchase a reproduction Bendix style brake booster thru WCCC and i am having issues with understanding what exactly is going on.

i replaced all the braking hard lines, rubber flex lines, wheel cylinders in the rear as well as front calipers, booster (replica form WCCC) and correct reman master cylinder from WCCC.

purchased all my parts from WCCC, also my engine is new and produces 18-29” vacuum at idle.

any help would be much appreciated.

#1 thing to check - verify that your calipers are installed on the correct side of the car. The bleeder must point to the rear of the car. If it points upward, you cannot get all of the air out of the bore.
