I recently finished a Disc brake conversion on a 66 Sport Fury, installed new 73 front disc Brakes and replaced the rear drums. The system includes a new Manual Dual reservoir Master Cylinder (Replaced the old sigle Reservoir MC), all new lines, the adjustable proportioning valve controlling the rear brakes, new wheel Cylinders, new Calipers. The issue I am having is that I am not getting fluid pushed through the system, I can pump the brakes and the MC stays full, but if I remove the lines going to the master cylinder It is pushing fluid out of the ports when I pump the brake pedal, but it does not seem to be distributing the correct amount to the lines. Last night I tried gravity bleeding the system but it still doesnt seem to be dropping the amount of fluid in the MC. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Dang that is close. Too bad the car is south of here. I have a pressure bleeder that will make quik work of bleeding your brakes.
I don't have any other suggestions as I've been using this tool for over 20 years.
Leaving the lid off the MC bothers me as the new fliud will absorb water really fast expecially on a rainy day like today while gravity bleeding. I hope you sealed everything back up last night.
