Ok so I have a 69 chrysler 330 that has had all the breaks redone along with the rotors and the brake master cylinder. Problem is that when I brake it starts to stop but pedal will not go any further and the car is still rolling even if I slam on the brakes the wheels will not lock and car continues to roll a little longer. Any help will be appreciated.

Does your pedal go all the way to the floor when trying to stop? Did it go to floor when bleeding? If it did when bleeding and does now when driving. I would say the master isn't building pressure. You can also check for collapsed brake lines. I had a similar problem. I had clogged rear metal brake lines, I also had a collapsed rear rubber brake line. The fluid should flow freely in all directions. No obstructions. Once we got the obstructions clear the car stops great now. Before I changed the master out, the car would creep before it would stop completely even with the pedal as far down as I could push. Now it stops on a dime. Even with 4 wheel drums. I can go 60 and stomp the pedal and it stops great!!
