Do you have disc or drum brakes rear? If drum you need a 10# residual valve.

You would be surprise how much fluid it takes to fill new, dry brake lines...I would just crack all the bleeders and let gravity do the work while keeping an eye on the fluid level in the MC...

I have good luck with a vacuum bleeder. Also have a Motive pressure bleeder but doesn't fit the Wilwood master.

I have had good luck with a Phoenix reverse bleeder. You push fluid from the calipers back to the master cylinder.

I do this method especially when dealing with all new components, crack all bleeders, and keep the master topped off, wait for fluid to come out of all the bleeders (sometimes this takes a while, I have had it take a half hour plus) then close all the bleeders and do the normal brake bleed procedure to be sure.

Well finally back up with the car after building an addition to my home. Went back again to bleed my brakes and nothing in the rear. The Wilwood master brake cylinder was bench bleed and also bleed while on the vehicle. It is not pushing the fluid so I am thinking I need to back out the threads in order for it to completely clear the rear return/orifice in order to get the fluid to the rear. I am getting fluid to the fronts. I plan on calling wildwood tomorrow but keep you ideas coming. Thanks
