    72 with new brakes

    Brakes working fine but after car sits a couple of days, the pedal go close to the floor. 2 pumps and its back where it should be. Manual brakes. Any ideas?

        Bob another thing to note is make sure that your not seeing any fittings that may have a slight leak. Basically anything that was disturbed when you did the brake work. This will let air into system while the car stills.If you replaced metal lines with stainless they have a hard time sealing and sometimes require loosening and retighting a few times, make sure to crank them really tight.
