I finally got my hot rod back in the garage, so I was able to rebleed my brakes per the proceedure posted by Rumbles. Well there's a signifigant improvement!!!!!!
All I did was bleed the right front and right rear at the same time and then did the left front and rear at the same time. I was able to get a full pedal stroke that way on both cylinders at the same time. Doing one wheel at a time, you can't get a full pedal stroke because the pedal firms up on the axle that is not being bled.
I did a test drive and could lock up the front at will - MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!!! Since the front is so strong now, I think I have to rebalance so I get more rear brake.
I think if your not happy w/ your brakes it's worth a try - no matter how many times you have already bled them.
