Well, here's the deal. My friends YJ has been totally converted to a Chevy drivetrain....axles, engine, tranny and so on. Unfortunately, we can't get the brakes to work properly. We tried using the stock YJ brake booster in it for a while, but it wouldn't provide the needed pressure to squeeze the brakes. So, we swap in a Chevy booster, figuring that would work. Well, same problem. He says that it feels like it's got air in the lines, though we have bled it multiple times and even bled out the master cylinder.
So, we are kinda stuck right now on figuring it out. Everything is hooked up the same way that it was in the Chevy. It's got new calipers on it. New lines and all.
The only thing that we can come up with is that the stroke is to short on the pedal to completely engage the brakes, though we aren't sure how it could be too short.
If anyone's got ideas or things that we could try out, let me know so I can relay and get this beasty stoppin under it's own power.
