Master cylinder
Have got my brakes ready to bleed last night. Had a proplem getting fluid to flow.Took master back off and found plundger in master not returning.Took master apart and everything is good.The only thing I can think of is the seals have swellled from setting 3 years.Its a corvette style from Hortons hot rods.Called them and they have no rebuild kits.Any one know about what year I could order a kit for?

You could also have a bad casting/tapping in the master cylinder preventing flow.

The seals may have just taken a set while sitting. Once they get some pressure and wear on them they may be OK. Try bench bleeding the M/C, then installing and bleeding the whole system. Nothing to lose but a few bucks worth of fluid.
