Installed SS brake lines.
Also put in ATE Super Blue.
All air has been bled.
The pedal is "soft".
The OEM lines/fluid had a great feel. This does not.
The OEM stuff was a quick tap of the pedal to get any braking.
The new stuff I have to push the pedal 4" or so to get anything.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for any and all help up front troops.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how much fluid can leak. And if you didn't bleed each right after each hose was changed, you may have ingested air into the master cylinder. You can bleed it without going to a shop or bench bleeding. Read here:

"Tiny Bubbles"..............
Yep.......still had just a couple of bubbles left. I thought I got them all.
Then we had to adjust the amount of fluid in the resevoir to keep the "brake" & "VSC" lights out.
Other than that we are now good-to-go.
Thanks for your help guys !!!!
