BRAKES
I have the floor mount master with booster. I the 2 lb. resadual in the lines. I was talking to classic hauler 2day and Candie said the power boosters don't need the resaduals. So before i take them out i wanted to run this by you guys. I blead the lines and the master 2day and they are better. The pedal will come back up on Its own BUT still ain't got the brakes i should have.

The benefit to bench bleeding on the bench vs. in the car is you can get a better feel for whether or not the plunger is getting a full stroke all the way in the m/c. That's important. You can do the plug method like you did, but I like to make short lines that loop into the reservoir, so you can see the bubbles come out from the system as intended, while pushing the plunger in slowly. I think it's better, fwiw.

Disc brakes require a 2 lbs. residual valve and drum brakes require a 10 lbs. residual valve. You can have more then 1 residual valve on the same line and it will not effect it negatively. Some master cylinders come with built in residual valves. You'd have to check with the manufacturer of your master cylinder. Here's a good little read...

Seriously though, it's always good to have corroborating opinions.

Front to back and back to front would only matter if the residual valves are built in, and they are set up for a disc/drum combo. As long as the right valve is going to the right set of wheels it shouldn't matter. If you had to tell him that you were running a disc/disc, disc/drum or drum/drum setup it probably has valves built into it. I'm not sure how to double check that though. I'm sure someone smarter then me can help you with that...

If you have 4 wheel discs with a 4 wheel disc master cylinder, it shouldn't matter which port goes where. Residual valves do have a dedicated in and out. If they're in backwards, it'll really mess you up. Personally, I would take those clear out of the system and see what happens.

I beat you this time, but I forgot about the directional valves... 
Like Wayne said, all residual valves I have seen have directional arrows on them. If they are backwards you are causing a restriction in flow the wrong direction...
