Exclamation Brakes dont work!!! HELP!!

I Benched bleed the master cylinder then I bleed the rest of the system…There is no air in the lines for sure I have been bleeding no stop thinking thats whats wrong… but yet I still have no brake power… I don’t think my car has a ABS system on it… if it does were is it… I have an 87 T II …. So I was wondering is there anything else i can do to fix it…?? Im going crazy...

What do you mean by "not work"?

When you press the brake pedal, do the pads press against the rotors? If so, your brake system works, but you have a power booster problem.

If you push the pedal and it goes straight to the ground with no pad movement its a master cylinder problem

More info please

Check the power booster vacuum line that connects to the UIM. Make sure its attatched and has no leaks.

You can test the booster with a vacuum tool i believe.... autozone?
