Brakes were spongy, and did not stop quickly nor could I lock down the brakes in an emergency stop. (See my previous post on 68 brakes).
The shop that specializes in high HP vehicles and Hot Rods, have got the brakes solid and not spongy as before. But the car won't stop quickly. No locking down the brakes. It comes to a stop but not quickly.
The mechanic has gone through all the calipers, new rubber brake lines, the pads, master cylinder good. Everything concerning the brakes have been gone through.
I think he now is a little lost at what to do. He has worked on many corvettes and even went back and drove a 68 he had worked on in the past. He said it stopped like it should.
Now he has mentioned putting a gauge on the brake line to see how much pressure it is putting out to the calipers. I guess it has a certain pressure number to get the brakes to lock down.
If this does not work then he wants to install a booster for the master cylinder. Which I think from 1972 on they all had the boosters.
My Cam is taking up most of the vacuum so he will need to put a electric motor of sorts to keep the vacuum up enough.
Any other ideas
