    Power brake modification is a bit weak

    I successfully installed a power brake booster on my 79 Volare with the correct linkage. Bled the system correctly and the brakes feel quite loose. The car will stop, but I have to put the pedal to the floor. Any suggestions?

    I purchased an in-line tube brake line kit which was designed for a boosted setting. I installed a power brake booster not realizing that the new push rod location would not match the original brake pedal. I purchased a power brake booster swivel linkage for a 70-74 e body…they don’t seem to...
