I don't know how to help you besides suggest the obvious... ie- bleed the system. What I can tell you is that you should have no problem finding parts. I am working on a rebuild of my 79 cj7 and have replaced everything except the booster. Reman calipers can be had at autozone.com for $14 each, a reman master cylinder for slightly more. There are plenty of jeep sites out there too. Between them and ebay, you should be able to build a jeep from scratch.
Good luck, and let us know what you find.

FYI. Law in Florida says you can take the doors off.

Checked for pinch or restriction in front brake lines..just a thought

RE: Re: RE: Re: Detroit or ARB in rear DANA 44?

I had a similar problem on a 1980 CJ-7 some time ago. In my case it was the brake proportioning valve (located on the inside of the drivers side frame rail right below the master cylinder usually). All the lines coming from the master cylinder go to this before they are seperated to go to the front on rear.

Good luck,

Chris
