Reply to "Upgrade my brakes..."

The brakes in my '74 are STILL a little scary. I've rebuilt the stock front Girling calipers per the tech info gleaned from this forum and Jack's article in the POCA bulletin. Installed Porterfield R4S pads and put the stainless flex lines on all four corners. Mity-Vac'd the system (Speed Bleeders were out of stock at the time), AND had it pressure bled to 1200 psi. My pedal is better, but NOT confidence inspiring. I still have the stock proportioning valve. I have NO signs of leaks. Is my stock master bypassing? I've got to do the rears this winter and I'm thinking of springing for the $300 for a new 2-step Master like Chuck mentioned. You think this will fix it? By the way, what's the spec for the rotors?
