ok i will try each wheel , i had really shitty brakes before the rebuild (locking-up @ rear,So i will bleed each corner and i'll get back to you

Did you ever change the rubber flex lines when you changed the other parts?  I've had one burst on me on the front and another time the hose was collapsing or deteriorating to the point on the inside that it acted as a check valve allowing fluid one way but not the other on the rear.  They're cheap (about $8 or so) and often neglected since often they look ok on the outside.  Just something to look at while your under there.

That's something else to consider too.....I'm curious to find out what it is!!!

 Inquiring minds want to know.  Did you find a culprit yet?

well,the car has been in the bodyshop for a while now. after i changed the prop valve i bled each corner with no problems, it pissed right out. i'm still thinking i should go electric vacuum pump. when i get it back i'll hook up one of my other cars to the booster and see if that works, sorry i kept you hanging.

Which has been my point ever since the second post in this thread...he says he only has about 5"...we have yet to hear what the "exact" issue is (was)
