I installed corvette disc brakes using all new parts this winter. It is on my 63 Avanti and I am using synthetic brake fluid. I have bleed the thing about 20 times using every method I know (2 person, vacuum, and pressure to the m/c) the pedal is very hard and the stroke seems about right. The problem is it doesnt stop worth a darn. I test it doing 20 mph panic stops. I press the pedal as hard as I can but it just doesnt have any stopping power. I just got a new booster thinking that was the problem but I can't tell the difference when it is hooked up or not. I press my foot on the brake and started the car thinking the pedal should drop with the booster vac, but nothing. I have just about ran out of things to try. The last thing I can think of is to flush the system and use regular fluid. It also has a new corvette master cylinder and I checked that by plugging the lines. It barley moved at all and was hard as a rock. My only thought is maybe I got a bad booster????
