The car has been professionally restored & appears to be in excellent condition. Today, we tried again to bleed the system following the shop manual. I.E. backing off the adjusters on the front & back & bleeding & then readjusting the brakes. The results were the same. There seems to be an excessively large amount of pedal travel before the brakes are engaged & when engaged they feel "spongy". We have access to 2 other 100's for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, we are not clear on the adjustment of the free play of the master cylinder. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>Gary Hodson <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
