Hi guys
Thanks for the quick replies
I di not benchbleed my MC as it was in the car already and I thought it was simply a step to save time in the final bleed of the entire system
I have bled the car probably 6-8 times. Each time finding a leak or new leak to tighten up on. Ultiamtely i think I have one hose to replace trying to eliminate leaks first. Once thats done bleeding can truly be done.
Looking at the dust mark on my MC pushrod, It looks like travel on a pump is no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.
The second pump is harder and is about half the travel of the first. Then it gets better as its pumped.
My MC is a floor mounted MC thats actually a new MC made by Raybestos for a Dodge application. There are adapters on it for the remotely mounted reservoirs up on the firewall.

Should i also be looking at length of MC pushrod travel? As it sits the rod is almost all the way IN to the clevis at the brake pedal.

Would lengthening help after I get it bled? I think its air thats getting me.

PS I may add that I have GM Cadillac calipers with the integral e-brake on the rears. I wonder if they need to be part of this routine ( set-up) They are selfadjusting internally and I have yanked them on and off many times during this process.
