soft brake woes

[Zapan00]

While I was in Iraq, my friend installed a brand new 4-wheel disc brake conversion kit for me on my 67 camaro. I'm not sure if he bench bled the mc but maybe someone can tell me if that could be my issue.

The brakes work but i have to stand on the pedal to stop the car. So far i've only driven it up and down my street and once to the gas station. The trip to the gas station was the worst. I had soft braking, but enough to stop the car where i wanted it to. I turned the car off, fueled it, started it back up and...the car wouldnt move. I'm assumed that the heat wash from the engine heated up whatever air i may have had in the brake lines and it locked up the brakes. I had to floor it to get it to move about 5mph into a parking lot nearby. I turned the car off and let it cool down for about 2 hours and then was able to drive it home no problem.

I spent this past weekend bleeding the hell out of the brake lines themselves, but i have no knowledge on how to do anything beyond that. I thought about taking it to a local shop to take care of it but if i can keep my money and fix it myself in an afternoon, i'd much rather do that.

Thanks,

Matt
