After a 6 year hibernation we are getting the 76 Eleganza II back on the road.
Put in a new master and prop valve, all the lines and hoses look good.
I have had success with the speedbleeders in the past and got a set for the GMC.
I know not to overstroke the pedal, my wife is well trained in that!
The initial bleed went well, had no bubbles in a minute on each wheel. Went through
about three refils of the master.
On the round the block road test the brakes felt great at first but at the end were soft
again. Do I need to pump more fluid through?
Next problem will be the cooling system. In 5 minutes of running it was overheating.
What fun!
