I had a problem bleeding my brakes recently I followed all procedures like I always do but still have very little brake pedal. I was reading on some other forums about an equalizer valve. Are there equalizer valves on GA's.

Every car has a proportioning valve but I think your problem may be with the master cylinder. Did you run it dry while bleeding the brakes? If so you will need to bleed the master cylinder if not try rebleeding the brakes to make certain that there no air in the system. Sometimes air will become trapped and the brakes will be mushy. If you have antilock brakes you may have to take the car to a mechanic to have the brakes bled properly due to the antilocks needing to be deactivated inorder to bleed them properly. It takes a scan tool to do this. However, I doubt this is the case.

The master cylinder was replaced when I changed the wheel cylinder. I bled the master cylinder and than began bleeding from pass rear and so on. I did it several time and still no pedal. I will try to bleed them again this weekend.
