What is the condition of your pads and rotors? If the rotors are thin and
the pads are worn you can reach the limits of the caliper travel. You will
have a hard petal but the pads will be up against a stop rather than
squeezing the rotor. Properly set up and maintained the brakes on these cars are
very good.

early 67 roadster, hasn't been real active for the last 5 years as I've

restoring/renovating it.
years ago we bled the brakes after putting in new master brake cylinder
and
clutch. it is dot 5. please don't even discuss dot 3/4/5; that's not on
the table.
it seems hard to brake and hard to stop.
am I right in thinking first step is to bleed the brakes?
then start looking for other issues?
I'm right in thinking these cars should stop on a dime? not a long 20
dollar bill . . . .
