Are you replacing brake system or is this a new brake system? Lots of information on new setups from Wilwood and others on internet. Sometimes it's very very hard to get all air out. Perhaps someone local can come by and get second set of eyes on your setup.I think you need to set back and do some reading and measuring, sometimes you come back the next day and the problem jumps right out at you.

Razorwire's post does remind me that ERA recommends jacking the rear of the car up in the air as high as you reasonably can to facilitate bleeding all the air out. Seems like that was another thing that helped me get all the air out.

No, the front of the car goes up. See page four here: http://www.erareplicas.com/427man/br...conversion.pdf |

... and right you are. What's funny is I just finished flushing and bleeding both the fronts and rears just last weekend... and I didn't elevate either the front or back.  You know, if you think you have a funky air bubble in there, if tilting the car in one direction doesn't work, then tilt it in the other.  |

Actually I wonder if the front should be raised to bleed the front brakes and the rear raised to bleed the rear - sort of makes sense doesn't it? But the back are harder to bleed.
Still thinking it's the MC.  |

No, I built the system myself, looking at all possibilities since I'm using different parts from different manufactures. |
