Ok guys so i am having a hell of a time figuring this out, been trouble shooting with both strange and skinny kid race car along with a couple mechanics, still cant figure out my brake problem so i am posting this up on a couple forums to see if any of you have some ideas.
Start with the front of the system, i have a strange master with a manual brake system that is part number B3359TA with a 1.125" bore, the kit is designed to be used WITHOUT the factory proportioning valve. This is my SECOND master from strange while trying to figure this out, and it was bench bled before being installed on the car.
on the front system i have a set of basically stock replacment "upgraded brakes", 2 piston hawk padded slotted roters... nothing crazy at all. Inbetween the brakes and mastercylinder lies a hust line lock, which does work great when activated (tried it out ;) )
off of the master towards the rears i have a 5# check valve to keep preasure in the lines, and then a willwood brake preasure adjuster to adjust how much preasure is sent to either fronts or rears.
in the back are 4 piston, slotted rottars from strange

First, is the brake pedal plunger the correct length?

And....sounds like you have too many components installed.

Says your master is for use without a proportioning valve, yet you have a proportioning valve. ????

strange told me to add that piece after everything was on, and the kit i got from skinny kid was for a fox body with the exact pieces i have as far as pedal, manual brakes, and that master cylinder.
the main problem i have is it takes 2 pumps before i get a pedal
