I just swapped the brake shoes and one rotor on my 92 OCC. Now, when I push the brake pedal hard, the brake warning light comes on, and the bell dings. Sometimes the light does not go out right away. I am not sure what that means. The car still stops, although my 91 feels a lot firmer. Any suggestions before I start throwing parts at it?

Did you bleed the brakes after? Sounds like low pressure.

There is an air bubble somewhere in your system and just find someone with a good ear and legs and bleed it.If you have a pressire bleeder sometimes they work better"SOMETIMES" Now another brake question,the brakes on my 91 OCC are much more easy to use while the LT-1 requires a much firmer push.Both systems are air free but there is a noticeable difference in pedal feel.Anybody else notice a difference between TBI brakes and LT-1 brakes?

E-brake on? Then check your brake hoses for cracks/leaks and brake fluid level first, then try bleeding the lines. The red brake light comes on when the system "sees" a pressure difference between brake circuits, which our cars (I believe) have 3 of, LF, RF, and rear.
