I have done the swap from abs to standard power assist. Here is a past link where I posted about this problem. http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87412
I have since put in a MC from a 93 Crown Vic that I bought new, not rebuilt. I still have a hard pedal. When I bleed the brakes, I start with the pass rear first. The first couple times its soft, then firms up, then pretty much the pedal is hard whenever I pump the brakes. Open the bleeder and the pedal goes to the floor. Close it and pump it maybe twice and the pedal is very hard. Open the bleeder and goes down again. Is it possible that I have a bad caliper? The reason I did the swap is that I had a hard pedal and I bought an accumulator ball and that didn't fix it. Didn't want to throw a bunch of money and the swap is so simple and cheap, why not. Now I'm wondering if it was necessary. Any place to look would be a help.
