Bad master cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I finaly got my brake line off , bent up a new one , buttoned up all the lines, modified my push rod (used parts off of my old clutch master rod) Installed the new rebuilt master cylinder ( bench bleed) and bled all four cornners.
My bro was to keep an eye on the resevoir making sure it wouldn't go dry, well I guess he thought I said " make sure your beer dosn't go dry" cuse sure as snot, the master goes dry while he was replenishing his cold one.
Try as I might I couldn't get the master to bleed right, so I took it off.
While bench bleeding I noticed that the rear port was not pushing the fluid . I removed the bleeder addaptors ,pushed the piston in , the front port shots out a stream of fluid , the rear port driped at best.
I bought the master 3 years ago, and lost the reciept , so went to autozone picked up a rebuilt for $16.95. But I cant work on it till this weekend, so my "quick" swap has turned into a 2 week project
