I got good clean (no bubbles) fluid from each wheel. BTW I had some problems with fluid at the rear, but then noticed the flex lines from the body and replaced them and all was clear. Every flex line on the car was plugged solid. The car had sat 25+ years. > > Did you make sure that both the small port drillings from the feed hole in the > MC are clear where they lead into the main bore? I can only detect one hole, but I did blow 100+psi air through any and all passages and they are clear. > > You don't mention it, but is there any chance that you're losing fluid? > Replacing a MC is a prime time to break the center brake line and this would > prevent prressure buildup as all the fluid spills out on the driver's side > floor. I've got the carpet out (rust proofed/painted the pan) and have checked the main line to the back. I detect no leaks in it what so ever. I pulled the MC one more time, and looked at the bore once again. Looked a bit rough so I honed it again with a new "ball" hone. I cleaned it up and re assembled it. This time, I can detect a vacuum from the supply port if I push the plunger/piston and keep my finger over the top "supply port". Not sure what this means, but at least the piston and seals are making "suction". Hopefully they will now make pressure. We'll see. Thanks.
