Hello, '84 GL. Yesterday, my brake pedal started going nearly to the floor. So, I checked the rear drums and the brakes were in good adjustment. The disks have no adjustment. From this, I concluded that I needed a new master cylinder. No further tests were done. Today, I installed a new master cylinder. However, I am not able to bleed the front brakes. The first sign of trouble was when I started getting a fine foam out the bleeder ... almost like whipped cream. Finally, that quit, but I still get air. No matter how long I bleed them, I still get air from both front wheels. I am lost. What should I do next? Help please, Mike
