brake troubles

Mopar Masters come in different bore sizes and front to back proportion ratios (see Mopar Perf Cat. With my Wilwood Front and stock drums back ended up with 61 Frt. and 39 Back Master and I think 15/16 Bore for best holding

Is the pedal "high&hard"? What is the diameter of the master cylinder bore? I
f the master has been changed, did someone make sure the pedal is in the right position? ie a slot for manual etc to change leverage point??
If you want to get into it you could get a brake pressure gauge and diagnose..

Chad, Does this car have stock style brake hoses on it ? If it does then you need to put new ones on because when a vehicle sits that long without being used the brake hoses will swell up on the inside and close passage of fluid. My tow vehicle sat for 4 years and when I tried to bleed the brakes I got very little from the front and nothing form the rear. I hope this helps you. good luck!!!!! p.s. Keep it shiny side up!!!

i got it figured out. Part of the problem was it had too big of a master cylinder, the other part was that the pushrod was in a bind. fixed those two things and its wonderful now.
