Just not happy with my brakes. No leaks. Stainless steel lines. Booster holds vacuum. Flushed with new fluid (Castrol Dot 4) about 10K miles ago. My friend's '72 really has a hard pedal and the brakes really grab. Mine stop safely (that's a relative term) but seem wimpy by comparison.The pedal goes nearly to the floor. Previous owner put the pads in, so I don't know what make they are. Can you folks give me a prioritized to-do list and/or anecdotal advice?
