Default Re: 1956 Thunderbird power brake problem

I missed your location. My wife was from Glen Ulin, west of Bismarck. Try coasting down from 60 or so. If you ever drive that slow,

When I had the front disc, Midland, rear drum combo from a major tbird supplier it never felt like a power booster. Not like the big firewall mounted ones.

The one thing I remember is you had to have the rear brakes properly adjusted, or the pedal travel and stopping was terrible. When 1 click on the handbrake helped the braking it was time to crawl under and adjust them.
