Don’t expect modern performance in an early Ford hydrolic system. Even perfectly set up they will feel “spongey” if you are used to modern brakes.

Agree with comments above. Many minuscule individual issues can add up to very poor overall performance.

Go drive some similarly equipped cars if you can and make the comparison.
