This is a ford 9". It has Chevy calipers on it. All custom. The
proportioning valve is non adjustable. 2 lines in, and 2 out. With the plug
on the top.
I bleed the master, thinking I have a air bubble somewhere in it. Its fine.
I have gravity bleed and pedal bleed.
It feels like there is still air in the line. The pedal feels great until I
start the truck up. Once its running, it goes down with very little effort.
And it won't pump up.

Also, The breaks where great till i started the swap.

Thanks

Tom
