I just rebuilt the front end and put drag springs in and Granada front disc on. Rule number 138 always drive a car a couple of days before you cut the springs. That way it settles unlike what happened to me. I put the springs in without the shocks jumped up and down on the car (trying to settle them in to get the ride hight I wanted). Made my cut and it was perfect. When I backed the car down the driveway it dropped another inch

Then I blead the brake peddle seemed great drove the car and on the first hard brake test the peddle went almost all the way to the floor before the car stoped. There is no air in the line so what I think is the problem is there is not enough volume in the stock master and it is emptying the reservoir

I don't know what master to use but I will call my trusty ford expert Jerry at ABC mustang in the morning

If anyone has experiance on the granada brakes on the old school mustang let me know,thanks

hey John..
back wheni had my 641/2 i also did the granada disk brake swap.. keep in mind a also had the single piston reservoir (641/2 only) and i didnt have the problem that your having....did you bleed the lines at the top too? its a long shot but i have seen it where it needed to be bled there...

I am going to bleed the system again and see what hppens. Thanks.
I have the dual reservoir so I was told it shouldn't be a problem thanks.

I had to change resivors when I changed to the granada setup. I am not near my car but when I get home I will get the part number off of it.

I did the granada swap on my 70 FB, and had no problems... just need to make sure you bleed the lines at the master.
