Thanks for all the great advice guys.

I like the tissue test idea. I realize the vacuum bleeder may be sucking in air around the bleeder. I wrapped the bases with a little teflon tape to try to prevent that.

The drive shaft where the bake lines go over is near the tranny… it is a closed drive shaft at that part. I did double flare the fittings but i dint tighten and loosen and tighten again… i will do that this time.

I am going to reroute my lines and put them where they should be. Then test all for leaks before i try to bleed again.

I am omitting the Residual valves and I don't have a portioning valve… does that make a difference? Will I get the benefit of a dual chamber without the portioning valve?

Thanks again guys
