I have a 1983 Buick Regal Limited 4.1L V6 with 220,000 miles on it. The Engine runs great but the brakes are not working. I have replaced the Brake master cylinder and the brake booster and the brake pads and shoes. I have also bled the braking system like 10 times, but the brakes still won't work. I am desperate and cannot think of anything else please help me, what might the problem be? And how can I fix it? Please help. Thanks.

Are you losing brake fluid? Do the calipers work?

You need a book for the clearance, follow the brake pedal to the firewall you'll see it there.

Also are you sure your wheel cylinders are not leaking and did you bleed the M/C.
