wilwood MC's .

there is free play.
car came from my father in law and he said they are a "B" to bleed and I think he made something for the old MC's to bleed them.
How many master cylinders does it have?

waiting on new cap to drill it out. the caps have a rubber lining or gasket in the top that I will have to also cut, so don't want to do that to the one I will leave on the car.

lesson learned, use cheap brake fluid to get them bled then suck it out of reservoir and replace with the good stuff.

get the gears changed and brakes done and back on the track.
Having cheap brake fluid in the lines and calipers and "good stuff" in the reservoir is the same as having cheap stuff everywhere. The fluid in the res stays in the res, (unless there is a leak somewhere), and the fluid in the lines and calipers is what boils when brakes overheat w inadequate fluid in them.
