Oh, geeze, didn't realize that. Was the first one bad as well? Similar issues?

The first one would not seal at the rear fittings and I went through 3 brake lines and still leaked (wept) at the fitting.

Well, sounds promising. I used a cheapo CPP master and was pleasantly shocked at how quickly the system bled out. Sounds like getting a master with no issues is going to be the key to your system working out.

I didn't go back to read the whole thread but HOPE that you bench bleed these Masters before installing --- it's a critical step.

No air in the master cylinder and reverse bled all four corners and no air. I have brakes just not sure how much since I only moved the car back and forth in the garage since the steering wheel is not attached. That said the pedal feels soft as my power brakes. I have not driven a manual brake system since 77 but I thought it would certainly take more pressure to stop it. Wilwood said to go with the 15/16ths bore for my car with C4 brakes but I noticed that the C3 manual master cylinders are 1 inch bore.... I might just said @@#$% Wilwood and go to a plan old master cylinder for the C3. This is not rocket science and not my first build but my first with Wilwood. Thanks for your comments
