Hello, i recently encountered a problem with my front braking on my LTD 390 72k mile vehicle. I think there is no fluid going through the front wheel cylinders but the brake lines seem fine, i bled the system, replaced the master cylinder and all the wheel cylinders but my brake pedal still is stuck on the ground. How do i get my front brakes working?

one suggestion...if the brakes are good and properly adjusted, You need to re-bleed the brakes with the proportioning valve button held in. Also make shure you get fluid from all wheels...Nice Wheels! I had a 68 XL with a 390!

Suggested Repair

Re-bleed the brakes while holding the proportioning valve button in, confirm fluid comes from all wheels, and verify the brakes are properly adjusted.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1967 Ford LTD with a 390 says the front brakes do not work, fluid does not seem to reach the front wheel cylinders, and the pedal stays on the floor after bleeding and replacing the master cylinder and wheel cylinders. The expert advises re-bleeding with the proportioning valve button held in, confirming fluid at all wheels, and checking that the brakes are properly adjusted.
