Car apart saga continues....

 

Quick refresher:

  1. swapped master/booster, brakes still suck. hard pedal. small cam, shouldn't be an issue.
  2. Swapped in Baer front calipers (off a Cobra)
  3. braking still sucked
  4. converted to rear discs off an S-10
  5. added new Right Stuff master/booster combo for my application
  6. brakes 10% better at ebst
  7. added in a 12V vacuum pump and canister
  8. brakes make squishy sounds!!!!! YAY!!! nana

Battery was nearly dead, raining outside too, so I couldn't drive it, but I went from a bad feeling pedal to something that feels like it should. Time to re-check for fluid leaks from the swap (since now I have decent pedal travel). Details to come in upcoming newsletter
