[Midnight Goat]

Cliff notes- Drum brakes not working, preformed brake bleed rears were acting weird. No peddle resistance when car is on.


The other day i was takin my 67 goat around the neighborhood after finally having the motor running good and everything in order. Im just cruisin around seein how she holds up when the brakes started acting up. At first it was just stopping sluggishly and the brakes seemed to go on and off. I continued on heading back towards my house since the brakes werent functioning properly. Well here i come around a bend and i go to apply the brakes and nothing. i pumped the brakes frantically and finally it kicked in but very little. Im pretty sure only the fronts were working. So today i thought lets try bleeding. The front two bled fine no bubbles just fluid. The rears on the other hand is another story. The rear drivers side flowed a ton of air bubbles and i continued to bleed when fluid stopped coming out. The master was topped off with fluid but nothing. Is this normal or what? i made sure there were no bubbles and closed the bleeder valve. Im using a bleeder pump by the way. Anyway then i got to the passenger side and a couple bubbles and a little bit of fluid and then it did the same as the other side. Now im not sure if this fixed the problem but i didnt notice any difference in travel of the peddle. (it goes all the way down to the floor with basically no resistance). The red brake light comes on when it hits the floor. Id rather get some input than test drive with no brakes ahaha. Also when the car is off and i pump the brakes it resists at about half way to the floor. My setup is drums all around with what looks like heavy dutys up front and reg in the rear. They are power brakes and thats really all the information i know. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
