I need some help... My bugeye always had poor braking power and brake bias was 
always STRONGLY to the rear.  Toward the end of last year I also had problems 
building brake pressure - I had to pump the peddle to the floor once before 
actually using it.   I have just replaced the front drums with discs (along 
with tube shock conversions all around and a front sway bar).   I still have 
both braking problems I had before - bias toward the rear and I have to pump 
the peddle several times before I brake (EVERY TIME I BRAKE).   Either I am 
very bad at bleeding brakes (possible but I have really worked at this) or 
something else is wrong.  The master cylinder looks original (i.e. old) - could 
this be the problem?  A problem with the brake lines?   I welcome all 
suggestions!   Thanks, Mike
