I replaced the leaking front wheel cylinders on my '70 Elky today and got the fronts bled out great. Fluid shot 3 feet out! The rears would not bleed, so I started at the rear cylinders and went forward. I took the line loose at the back of the dist block and no fluid comes out. I took the line off the at the master cylinder resevior and blew compressed air thru it and it is clear. Hooked it back up and still no fluid. Can these things stick? I thought that it was straight thru without any valving. Or is it possible that the rear portion of the 6 month old master cylinder is no good? Its a manual 4 wheel drum car, pretty simple. Thanks.

Dave, start by bleeding the master cylinder by cracking the lines loose under pressure. If there's no fluid at the master I think you'll know where the problem lies. Now pass the bacon.
