Well it wasn't the master!!!!

So instead of taking the Repro Vette master off and plugging it and checking to see if it was bled properly,
I decided to just ASSUME it was bad, paint the new Raybestos one, plug it, bleed it, install it.

Then for the hell of it I threw the repro MC on the Vice and plugged it.
Bench bled it , plugged, with the screwdriver and ZERO bubbles came out and it locked up before 1/8".
I tried 15x and it's definitely bled properly. So now I really have no idea WTF it could be if it wasn't the master.

Tobin, you're saying air in the system, but I really bled the crap out of it several times. It's aggravating the ****
out of me. I'm wondering if I really do need a smaller bore MC but then other guys are running rear discs too with
this MC but it's possible the pistons are different. I"ve got power brakes, I thought it would be cake......nope!!!

IF that was a factor in the hydraulic system, I'd see some fluid leaking somewhere for the mushy pedal though no ??

I don't see any fluid leaking.
