I will agree with you in that I never really liked a vacuum pump to bleed the brakes but it seemed to get me by until now. Thanks for your suggestion to use a ball/pressure bleeder. It makes perfect sense. Although I'm 70 and this thing may sit on my shelf the rest of my life I think it's worth getting one just to win this battle.

Thanks again for your interest in my problem. I'll let you know how I make out and what I find.

One other thing. It sounds like I shouldn't exceed 10 lb. Of pressure to the master cylinder. As for the proportvale I still need to use the plug to keep the center piston from moving....right?
Thanks again and stay safe!
