On the order - I was just going to bleed the front calipers because I had to replace one and had to take the other one off to get it compressed, but when the pedal started going to the floor I decided to bleed the rest. Would you recommend doing it again, in the right order?

I might of missed what you're doing with the rear drums.... what thingy do you speak of?

IF you blead the lines good, continuous flow of brake fluid, no bubbles, then that is probably not your problem(at least not all of it).

Reminds me....I need to replace a front brake line that I've been putting off for months now.

I don't know what its called, but there's a slotted thing in the drums you can turn with a screwdriver to adjust them out, I just don't know which way is out

huh.... not sure what that is.

Good luck tomorrow... if you don't get your brakes to work, then down shift the tranny when you need to slow down.
It should hold fine, it's new
haha

lol, I don't think I told anyone on here yet, but my rotor snapped in two (what started this hole mess) and I had to downshift to 1 on the highway and run off onto the shoulder/slam it into park to get it stopped..



I'll post pictures of the carnage at some point, but off to bed for now

Fishy,
when I was in college Unreal Tournament Counter Strike and Half Life was a GPA killer. We set up a big lan network bettween maybe as many as 20-30 people and played almost ever night. It started getting sad when we would search the internet for cheat codes and junk.



Does anyone have a holley demon quick fuel or proform (just not edelbrock) 825-850cfm carb? DP or HP style prefered but would be interested in what youve got.

the direction that forces it outward, you're speaking of the rear adjuster, if you get to it through the backing plate i belive you roll it down from the rear of the backing plate

i'm glad i am not the only one who did that

I was in ROTC at N. Ga College and State Univ and our hall (about 15 people) would play against other halls in the building (comprised of 3 floors split in half so 6 seperate halls). all in all 30 - 40 people would be playing. however, it got bad when we started building our own arenas! every once in a while i will jump on a wan game and kick some arse. i have been poking the guys here at work to play a lan game like that during holidays when we have to be here and when we are here after hours.

Well, its all loaded up and ready to go. 10mins before I have to go to work - talk about cutting it close. Brakes still don't feel quite right, but they're stopping enough for me to be comfortable with it.
