Hm, I did not check the clearance on the shoes. I set them so that they drag just a bit but I had set them prior to filling the system with brake fluid.

I system I installed does not have the power booster. It is only the MC. How much of a stroke is needed to completely compress the MC?

I tried the mityvac but it has never worked for me. I am sure I am doing it correctly but it has never worked on any vehicle of mine. I even bought one of the harbor freight compressor vacuum bleeder and it did not work.
I will check my shoe clearance tonight.
Thanks all, I let you know what i find.
