On the final stages of getting my resto on the road just needing to bleed the brakes.
thought I got it all tonight, had my wife pump and hold the brakes while I bled it and seem to have gotten all the air out of the lines but even with vacuum boost I can still move the spindles by hand…
any advice thanks
How empty was the brake system? Like completely? To start out 1st did you re-bench bleed the master cylinder? And then bleed from the wheel cylinders, and start with the futherest away. Meaning, right rear, then left rear, then right front and left front last?
There are some vacuum bleed kits on the market that make 100% bleeding a snap.

Brand new system, reusing the master cylinder I installed last year.
definitely didn’t bench bleed anything I didn’t really think it was a huge issue… I can be proven wrong.
I did start in the back passenger. The rear actually built a lot of pressure in the pedal and maybe I still have some air.
when moving to the front it seemed to not want to build pressure but I was having fluid come out.
I did forget about that proportioning valve pin. I’ll pull that in the morning
I have a fancy pressure bleeding for my other vehicles but with the mast cylinder having such a large opening it unfortunately doesn’t seal on it. Might be able to seal just the rear
