Well i know this is not engine related, but there is a good knowledge base here im hoping can help me out.
Ok so i decided that i was going to put power brakes from a YJ into my 74 CJ5. So i got a booster and MC out of a junkyard. I got a new master cylinder and hooked everything up and they worked great. I then found out that i needed new pads and shoes, so i replaced the rear wheel cylinders when i found a bad one, and and found a bad front caliper when i got there. Once i replaced the caliper i have not been able to get a good pedal. I found out that the new MC that i got was bad so i replaced that again as well. So i got everything all back together yesterday and it is just as it was before. I can lock up the rear wheels so i have back brakes, but i get little to nothing in the front. I have been messing with this thing for a while now and im getting fed up with it. Anyone have any insight on what i should look for next on how to fix this thing? proportioning valve issue?
