If your sure you bleed the brakes... Caution: See my Cave,
Bleeding MC notesyou read
old post and likely PM but did you read my cave?
See my Cave,
Brake UpgradeIn short...
GA front brakes and big MC Will make OE rear brake very weak.
Big MC w/ All OE Fiero brakes Will make the brake very weak.
Either can/will cause very long brake distances.
In first the rears to very little to nothing to stop the car. Second case all wheels do less to stop.
"booster upgrade" might hide this to your foot but you still have same problem(s).
If the PO messed up or switch the
Combination Valve to screw w/ Prop Valve then expect more problems. But often won't make the brake very weak unless they really screwed up. Look for tool marks or mods on prop valve section etc.
If you replace MC too and now you have "low pedal" problem then likely Rear piston(s) have not self adjusted.
Many rebuild units can be bad right out of box and won't self adjust. If true then return it/them.
Read entire brake section start w/
Rear BrakesBrake Booster problems will make a hard to a very hard pedal.
If you can't push the pedal easy then have vacuum problems and/or booster failure.
Vacuum can be plugged anywhere in the line. You should easily blow into the line w/o engine on. (87/88 Does Not use a booster vacuum filter in the engine bay so one less problem.)
Vacuum leaks should cause high idle but not always. See my Cave,
Vac LeaksBooster is 2 stage type w/ 2 diaphragms and common to have 1 fail and not the other cause a harder pedal. Total fail is close or same as pedal effort w/ engine off. IE total fail often need two feet to push the pedal and even then very hard to stop.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
