Brakes problem
1976 Ford Truck 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I JUST REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER AND CAN'T MAINTAIN PRESSURE. THE PEDAL STILL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER "BLEEDING" THE MASTER CYLINDER AND MAKING THOSE ADJUSTMENTS. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

If there's no leakage anywhere -best check the master cylinder again-could have an internal leak

BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE POWER BOOSTER ARE BRAND NEW -- IS THIS STILL POSSIBLE OR DO I NEED TO BLEED THE BRAKES AGAIN.

Try rebleeding it again-have you inspected the wheel cylinders for leakage?

ADDING MORE BRAKE FLUID AND REBLEEDING THE BRAKES HELPED -- YOU HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL; WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES PERMIT, I WILL BE DONATING MORE THAN $1.00!
