[T3] Brake problems


Here's the scenario:

62 Type 34

New parts:
M/C
rebuilt later(73) front calipers
new brake lines(front+rear), but not main line thru pan
new brake hoses(front+rear)
new wheel cylinders

I've tried to bleed the system, but can't get pressure to the front
calipers. When I loosen the bleeder valves on the front calipers, fluid runs
out, but when I pump the pedal, nothing. The rear is bleeding out fine. I've
adjusted the push rod to the M/C, but the Bentley states it should not be
adjusted from the stock position. Have I installed a bad M/C? It was bench
bled. Any other early, single circuit guys out there have this problem when
converting to a dual circuit M/C?

Help!

Doug
