Brake question
What are the possible issues with excessive pedal travel, calipers are new; low fluid, air in lines, or power booster? Does the power unit use vacumm? I'm think I may be losing vacumm, but not sure.

My first guess would be air in the lines. A second guess might be the master cylinder itself. I wouldn't think the power booster would be the problem since you should be able to get good petal even without the engine running.

Hello,
I found an interesting brake trouble shooting chart on the internet.

It shows what to do to test for spongy pedals, when to test the master cylinder, and when to test the power booster.
