Thanks Scott, it's all covered. Let's see, now for the whole story. Last night was going to install the radio and wash the car. Noticed a large puddle of fluid underneath the front end (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . A feel of the fingers and a taste revealed it to be brake fluid. Ah Shit!

So, today, changed the master cylinder. After taking the old one out, found the problem to be the reservoir feed tube bushings to be bad. Ah Shit again. MC was ok.

So went ahead and replaced the MC anyway. Tried to bleed the system, but could get no pressure. Ah Shit #3. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So, thought the pedal rod might be to long so tore out the pedal board only to find out the pedal rod wasn't even in the MC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Ah Shit #4.

Ok, finally was able to pry MC far enough away to get pedal rod in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now I have pressure and will spend the night trying to bleed the air out, but I don't use brakes anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) , so stay the F__K outta my way - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Now, with my luck, I'll hook up the radio and it will probably burn up the wiring harness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I'll see you in SJ if I have to tow it with my truck and a rope - Southern Cal style - damnit (ya listening Miles?)
