Old car mark, glad I found your post. I am finishing up a 58 ranchero 292 for its maiden voyage, I have a similar problem. I am using a dual master with a 7" booster, I bought the setup from gearheads several years ago (bad experience), when the time came to install it the booster was broken where the rod comes out. Rather than try to deal with these people,I bought a replacement from speedway motors. I'm running Torino disc brakes on the front, stock drums on the rear, all parts new. I have the same feel, pedal is rock hard, no power assist feel. I'm moving the car around and I'm afraid I'm going to go through the shop wall.I also have an adjustable proportioning valve. I'll check the things mentioned in this topic and hopefully find the gremlin. By the way, the torino spindles are a good disc option for the 57,58 cars, I did have to mill 3/8" off the upper a arm cross shaft to get my camber back. Same spindles on LTD 2's, montegos, ect. Mark
thanks, Mark

I think my hard pedal,no stop was due to some of the chinese fittings I plumed the system with. Repaired a couple of leaks and re-bled the system, should be ok. As far as milling the cross shafts on my a-arms, it might not be necessary with the torino spindle swap. Ford calls for 1 and1/2 degrees positive camber, we were shooting for 1/2 degree negative.
thanks, Mark
