The stock brakes on my 72 pre-L have steadily deteriorated in =
performance over the years.  I just put in a new master cylinder from =
Pantera Performance.  The servo seems to get and hold plenty of vacuum. =
The brake lines have been stainless steel for years.Have changed the =
fluid and bled the brakes every year or two for the last 20 years. No =
sign of leakage at calipers. Don't think there is any air in the system. =
No pull to either side . Just poor braking power....pedal goes to the =
floor with barely adequate braking force.  Not particularly interested =
in replacing the entire braking system.  How 'bout all you =
experts...What do you suggest ?  Pads ?  ????   Help, please.

Thanks for your suggestions.
