The front drum brakes and master cylinder on my Bugeye were recently
swapped out for disc brakes.  The old master was 3/4" bore with a 7/8"
sleeve for the Datsun clutch.  The new master is 7/8" in both bores to
actuate the calipers correctly.  Installation went without a hitch and the
car was bled multiple times, but for some reason the brake pedal goes down
aways before it works.  You can actually pump the pedal up a bit. We can't
understand it.  There are no leaks and it was bled properly, butt it acts
like there is still air in the system.  Any ideas?
