I had a set of speed bleeders in my old probe. they had a check valbe inside with a small ball that would seal the outlet and stop any air from re-entering the caliper

Ok well here is the story. I got Brothers perf. stage 4 brake kit which means 73 MM Calipers, Pads, Slotted rotors, and steel braided lines. I know i should upgrade my Master Cyl. BUT im not goin to yet. Cuz i should still be able to stop for now. OK my problem is after numerous times of bleedin the brakes properly starting at the right back I do not have pedalpressure. One thing ive noticed. When we do the right rear i get some pedal pressure by pumping them then like 2 out of 5 times when we crack open the bleeder the pedal goes to the floor like it should while the other times the pedal stays hard and barley anything comes out. Im at a loss.. Im begining to belive my master cyl went bad ?? Any input would be great
yourmaster cyl is to small..start the car up to build vacuum see if this helps...you have to remember you have alot of air in replacing the lines it may take a qt to get it done...

OK here is what we have decided is wrong. Master Cyl. We belive it is this becuase like i said we could get like 2 out of 5 times fluid to come out the back and the pedal go to the floor. So we pumped up the brakes and cracked open the fitting for rear brakes directly off of the master cyl. And jus like when we were bleeding them. Like 2 out of 5 times fluid would spray out. The other times the pedal would stay where it was and we might get a drip out of it. I belive im going to get a 93 Cobra MC
