No air and a firm pedal in less than 10 minutes went ahead and did the fronts just because all the wheels cylinders were all new and still no air and a firm pedal. A lot of guys will also convert the old Ford troublesome brake sender to a GM style that works off the pedal by fabricating a simple bracket check the 1952-59 Ford Social Group for pictures of those from the members.
