Getting my 87 on the road for the first time in 2.5 years and I drove it for the 2nd time tonight. The first press of the brake pedal is pretty soft, then the second one is much firmer. Does this sound like air in the lines?
During the "restoration" I replaced the calipers, brake hoses and one of the brake lines. I've bleed the brakes twice now, it does seem better after the 2nd bleeding. When I'm bleeding them I have no issue using a vacuum pump on the rear drums, but for the front calipers (Blazer 2 piston) the vacuum pump doesn't really want to pull much fluid, but it has no issue if I have someone pump the brakes, open the bleeder, then close it.
