AAaagghhh - still no brake lights or turn signals!!

Kevin - not yet. The rebuilt kit was unsuccessful for reasons I'm not sure about. I never could get it to build pressure and I can't easily gravity bleed the system now due to the speed bleeders. I ordered a new MC and waiting on it to arrive. This time I'm going to pre-fill it with fluid before hooking it up and see if that helps get the fluid moving so I can bleed it.

You could always just put the old bleeders back in, temporarily, until you get the system up and running right.... Maybe we could try bench testing the master cylinder on the kitchen table like I wanted to do with the trailer relay?

Patrick - I have the Jag rear suspension and I can bleed the brakes from underneath with the speed bleeders, but to bleed it the old fashion way or install the regular bleeders I will have to pull the seats and rear panel out. Trying to avoid that unless I have no choice. Basically - I'm going to fill the MC with fluid standing on end - from the end port and lightly pump the rod - then install the brake light switch in the port. So in effect it will be bench bleed. Of course I still have to get it in the car and hooked up to the two lines. It's the one inside next to the rail and it's a lot more difficult to get into position and bolted up versus the outer one.
