Thumbs up

Hey Mike, I ended up buying a new metering valve (because I was convinced it was bad), pushed the plunger (which seemed to maybe move a little bit, if at all!!) and then proceeded to bleed the brakes. Actually, before I installed the valve, I checked it with my vacuum bleeder to see if it was allowing air through it and it was! Not sure if pushing that plunger did the trick or not!! I got good flow to the fronts now and the pedal has returned to the proper position and is rock hard!! Guess I got all of the air out of the system!! Everything seems to be working correctly at this point and I'm a happy camper!! Gonna go on a bit of a ride/cruise this Saturday to give it a good test. Thanks again for all your input and suggestions.

Thanks Sam!! I'm actually going to be doing a bit of a "test drive" this coming Saturday to take some pics with another Nova that is scheduled to be shipped to the owner by the end of next week. I'll try to post some pics. In the meantime, here's a pic I took a little over a year ago. Boy how time flys!!
