Just wondering if anybody has a second opinion, I think either I haven't bled them enough, or I need a new master cylinder. Basically, a rundown on the system is an '83 Ranger 2.3 Master cylinder without booster, (Kinda strange, it had power steering, but not power brakes) old lines from the ranger going from the MC to the distribution block (proportioning valve?), new lines from this to all four wheels, with new rubber lines. This is all running samurai front discs and rear drums on my Fordzuki. So the problem being, the first time I hit the pedal, it goes almost to the floor. I still have brakes, just not that great. If I pump them another time or two, the pedal depresses maybe an inch, and the brakes work great. Let off, and let it sit for a few seconds, and hit it again, and it goes to the floor. I've bled them out about 5 or 6 times, and don't get any air, I just keep having the same problem. Any help would be apreciated.
