Re: S10 Swap how to

Can anyone advise what type of master cylinder is used on a stock 1996 S10 (power brakes-front disk, rear drums)? I have had an issue with the brake pedal slowly sinking and after numerous bleeds of the system with no improvement I am going to install a new master cylinder. The issue is the bleeding technique. The instructions from the manufacturer (Cardone) have very specific instructions about “How to bleed a step bore master cylinder”, however these instructions come with ALL of their master cylinders, so they only apply to those models of the step bore design. The problem is that I have no idea if this new master cylinder is a step bore or a conventional design. I spent a good 2 hours consulting the Great Google Oracle and got zippo for my efforts. I want to get this right (I’m sick of bleeding this system!), so can anyone advise what type of master cylinder I have?
