Doesn't seem to get spongy, even with bleed valves closed. pedal never seems to build pressure, and I don't see or hear any leak. I do have a proportioning valve, its a regular gm style MC and prop valve from performanceonline.com. I did use line back to the reservoir and pumped till no more bubbles, but it took me forever to get the lines bent properly that go to the prop valve, so I wonder if me screwing the fittings in and taking them off so many times that i have to re-bleed it again.

Got me thinking, when I first attempted to bleed the brakes, there was a leak around the line from the back reservoir to the prop valve, and i had tried pushing the pedal up and down for a few minutes before I realized it, I wonder if I loaded air back in the MC every time I released the pedal. I'll try bleeding the MC again tonight and see if thats the problem.

I dont see any pictures of the m/c and combination valve plumbed complete, you might have the lines plumbed incorrectly, sometimes these things are just stubborn to bleed, I have found that a large plastic syringe with a hose stuck on the end pushing fluid from the caliper to the m/c works great for getting air out, just make sure you are not pushing more air in, but first make sure you have the right lines going to the front and rear on the m/c, it happens more times than you think.

ok, my buddy came over and we had great success!! LOL. I just have to bend a new line from the front of the MC to the prop valve tomorrow, it was leaking just a bit. otherwise, I had a nice solid pedal after a 2 man bleeding.

Congrats, I was going to comment, but I thought I'd let you go for round 2,

So I got the brakes done and was going to attempt taking the car around the block. I got it out of the garage and up the street, but there was some banging or clunking sounds going on in the front end, I was going really slow too, I don't think I got over 10 mph. I'm thinking I have to make sure everything is tight again. I also haven't greased anything under there yet. Just another setback, thats the way this entire thing has been. right when you think you might be that close to getting it on the road, I have to take 2 steps back. but I was able to get it out and stop it, LOL.

yes I know the ass end is high, I haven't lowered that yet. gotta get the kinks worked out with the front before anything else.

Hey it's almost there! Totally normal to have a few issues to iron out. Even the big budget builds go through a shake down period. I'm jealous of the fun that's just around the corner for you.

:captain:

They say it takes 90% of your time for the last 10% of project......;)

I've got an appt next thursday with my mechanic to do an alignment and for him to find the friggan sound in the front end, I can't seem to find it. I'm also gonna see if he can tune the motor in, its studdering when you hit the gas, I can't seem to fix that either. oh well, off to the professionals.

under the hood was pretty ugly lookin, so I power washed, cleaned, and rattle canned it today, came out decent, not perfect, but waaaaaay better than what it looked like.
