Just to close this out, after bleeding the brakes and topping everything off, the brakes are fantastic. Can’t wait to see what happens next…there are some odd vibrations from the rear end, I may look at the U-Joints next!
The best way to field test your braking system & booster: DO NOT start car, but pump up the brake and hold the pedal down firmly. Now start the car in neutral and the pedal should move away from you a bit. Continue to hold pedal down. If the pedal continues to creep down then it means you have a leak. Possibly from the power valve lip seal that you did not replace. We do a lot of these, randy
