Thanks guys, forgot to add that I suspected the m/c for exactly the reasons you suggest about the lip or the corroded area of the bore where the piston and seal rarely travel. I pulled the m/c and honed and put in a new set of seals. It looked fine when I pulled it, nice and smooth and shiny bore. Can't pump it up as you say, just goes smoothly with some resitance to the floor each him. As I said, I bleed the m/c alone (put a bleeder on the pressure line side instead of a brake line, and bleed it and got a hard pedal. Did the same with the next item in line, the booster. Pedal went to the floor, as now, until I burped the last bubble out, then hard pedal. Gettiing at the distribution block is a bit(h with the engine in. I'm so stupid for not dealing with this when the engine was out. It never occurred to me that I would have such a problem. I still haven't driven the thing. But its timed, and the SU's balanced and it runs well. Oh! and I ran it up to about 3,000 rpm and no vibration off of the engine or trannie, which is the reason I pulled the engine in the first place.
