@Mustang5L5 , Im tearing all this down and since going this far, Im gonna replace the master cylinder again, its all rusted up and messing with my head anyway from a clean up the engine bay standpoint, so which brand you like for that? I know they mostly same but whose? I'll then coat it in clear paint to stop the surface rust.

Less that 10 miles on this MC.

My building was not insulated at the time of install on the MC I think... and had condensation issues in the barn.

It is now foam insulated and HVAC so Im all nice and cozy in here now.

Heh

Any particular bleeding kits you guys like? Buying the MC is the easy part, that bench bleed is a killer!

I just bought two premade lines from local autoparts store and bent them into a U shape to redirect back into the MC. Nothing really fancy.

picture this, but I used hardline

PV is off. I believe the rear and nearest ports are for the front brakes. I'll read up above about inspecting and rebuilding. I have also attached a picture of the booster... it's had better days eh?

Hmm...did you have a leak? That booster looks like it's been seeing brake fluid.

If brake fluid seeps inside the booster, it can degrade the rubber and cause it to fail over time.
