I put a dual master cylinder on my Avanti. It is one that fits a 1971 Dodge Polara with disc brakes. I used a speedi-bleed power bleeder to bleed the now silicone brake fluid throughout the system and got good flow to all bleeder screws. I do not seem to get any pressure out of the front reservoir of the master cylinder when I use my foot to apply the brakes. If I undo the front brake line at the master cylinder, I only get little spurts of fluid coming out. If I use the power bleeder it flows out strong. Why do I not get any pressure when I use my foot? Is it possible that I somehow did not get a proper bench bleed of the master? I am surprised if that is it since the power bleeder seems to push the fluid through with no problem.
