HOW TO: Split the brake lines (many have asked)

[hevymetl]

So I finally got to doing my swap over today. Took me a good hour of driving around getting more fittings to make it happen. Couldn't find the proper plug for the T so I just eliminated it and used a union. Anyway, I got everything in and bench bled the new master with no problems. I measured the new master and the depth of where the pushrod goes in and it was identical to old one. So I assumed I didn't need to mess with pushrod. I didn't get a chance to bleed the brakes yet but currently have no pedal whatsoever. Is this a bad sign?
