I have my orginal master cylinder thats off my 1969 camaro Z28. What is the proper procedure for bench bleeding this master cylinder.

Easiest way to bench bleed is with the two nylon adapters and two small rubber hoses.

Loop the hoses back into the reservoir after filling with brake fluid. Clamp the MC in a vice by a mounting ear. Slowly pump with a screwdriver a few times. Once you are getting no bubbles, it is ready to install.

Install on car. Before you just pump away, leave the lines slightly loose. Have a rag under them. Have an assistant push the pedal slwowly. While the pedal is on the way down, tightent both fittings. I have done this hundreds of times. Only about 1 or 2 out of a hundred needs to be bled at the wheels after doing this.

Good luck.
