Brakes

[GbodyBeginner]

Hi , I have installed a 9" ford G-body rearend Housing and Moser axles , with 390 gear, detroit locker , built 200 r 4 trans with 3000 stall in my 1987 monte carlo SS . I had to buy new backing plates also . I have also installed a fresh 406 2 bolt main long rod motor victor jr intake with comp cam part # 12-250-3 . Long tube headers . Long story short when using my brakes now it stops good if you travel a good ways between stops but if you are having to stop repeatedly it is very hard to stop . I had no problem before the changes . Any Ideas ?

sounds like your booster is running out of vacuum on repeated stops. What cam do you have?

comp # 12-250-3 (XE284H)

you have enough vacuum with that cam...does your pedal get hard on frequent stopping

I had similar issues with my brakes....read this post first before replacing a bunch of stuff...I replaced most of my brake system and still had issues....turned out that I had air bubbles in the lines.
