Trust me, I understand that I'm a noob when it comes to hands on working on cars. That's why I usually have mechanically educated friends work on them. At this point I'm just trying to get advice to see if I would even want to attempt to fix it, otherwise I'll let someone else do it. And I did bleed the brakes but only the front, I was told today to go ahead and bleed front and back, but I'll go ahead and get that done somewhere else. Once that's done I'll let ya'll know what happens.

I appreciate all replys, sorry if the descriptions are lacking good detail. I've never done any extensive work to my car by myself so it's kind of a learning experience.

When I first got it running the pedal would be about to the floor, but after driving it a couple times the pedal came back, I assume it was mostly rust collection. I got the fluid flushed and they worked fine for about two months. The day it happened I was just driving around and after about 10 mins or so I started to smell the brakes but it was still running fine. Slowly the pedal started getting harder and harder until finally when I let off the gas pedal the car would come to a stop almost immediately. When I pulled over they were smoking and car could barely move. After I let it sit for about an hour or so the pedal felt a little better and the brakes had released a little.

I have a '77 280z, previously the car sat around for about two years without being moved or started. I got it running again about three months ago with a couple fixes and got the brake fluid flushed in the process. About two weeks ago the brakes ceases up on me when I was driving around. It happened pretty slowly, it wasn't an abrupt stop. A couple days ago I replaced the calipers and pads in hopes that would fix it. Now I'm getting almost no pressure at all. There are no leaks in the lines that I can tell. Did I mess something up or am I missing something?
