    No fluid coming thru bleeder valve

    No, but it's often dumb obvious things that're the problem. I found a lot of muck in the fluid as I was flushing it and the rear cyl seals were pretty shot so it maybe something foreign in the system. I got new lines for the front as a precaution so that's the next step. Prob should only be...

I'd like to convert to hydro boost and a JD7(?) option which I believe has the 13 x 2 '1/2 inch shoe pads...

    I was considering this but have never driven with the system. I've read that the pedal loses feel and is pretty firm after only little travel. What's your experience in comparison feel wise ? Thanks.
