Bleeding brakes 83 Delta 88
Hello all. Having a real hard time getting a decent pedal on my car. Replaced master, calipers and wheel cylinders and two brake lines as well. Seems to remain low and spongy too. I'm considering buying a pump up power bleeder for $85, otherwise I guess I'll have to take it to a shop. I've never had this problem on any other car I've owned and I don't understand what the problem is. Any suggestions?

I assume you used the proper manual bleeding technique, rr, l/r rf, lf? Also the rear brakes are properly adjusted?

Re: Bleeding brakes 83 Delta 88
I adjusted the shoes before I put the drums back on. For some reason, this cars self adjusters have never worked, even though it has been disassembled and cleaned several times. Now I adjust it once a year. Anyway, I tried gravity bleeding. It worked pretty well, I have never tried it before. Pedal feels good and the light went off.
