    im not sure yet. i was always told that if the master booster went bad the pedal wouldn't move and you wouldn't have any pressure.

    buddy asked if you primed the master cylinder itself before you put the system together and purged it.

    if not then ya. you've probably got a hilarious amount of air trapped in the master cylinder itself.

    No I forgo to do it but tomorrow I will be getting a new fender and taking the master cylinder off and replacing both calipers. Thanks for yours and his input.

    gah, i hate having to pre prime the master cylinder. i had to do the new one on the merkur 3 or 4 times and then bleed 3 or4 times before the pedal stiffened up.

    At least it isn't hard to do. Just takes two people with the MC on the car. Need a line wrench, brake fluid proof container, and a friend with strong legs.

    If you brakes are still spongy after you know you have all the air out, it is most likely bulging lines. Either the ones going to the front caliper, or the one that T-s into the rear axle.

    UPDATE


    I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.I know i did. I did a few things to the car over the holiday.
    • patched the quater panel
    • fixed the brakes
    • changed the caliper
    • finished the wheel well
    • got a new fender


    So that is all of the things I have done in a week. seems like a small amount compared to what still needs to be done. But i have more pressing matters at and for the moment. The 73 head light bucket i ordered from Arizona is bent. it will not line up with the fender but the 74 version does. it actully does really nicely. so I am thinking about going and pulling that other head light bucket off the donor car i found in the junk yard.The only problem i might have is Im not to sure how the bumper skirts go if i would get a 74 or 73 version. I ll figure it out i guess. Here are some pictures.
















    74 head light bucket.


    still 74



    73... yeah something defiantly doe not line up right.
