Default Some one help me!!!

Ok guys, I did the search, I cant find anything. I just installed a mcleod street twiin with the adustable master today. Heres my problem. I cannot for the life of me get any pressure buildup whatsoever in the lines. I have bled and bled and bled. I went through a whole bottle of dot 3 today. I bled at the slave with a friend pushing the clutch. He presses, I open, I close, then he lets off. What am i doing wrong? I have plenty of fluid coming out of the slave, i dont hear any air. I dont have a plastic hose to watch for bubbles. After the clutch install, while the car was on stands, I cranked it up, with it still having the stock master on it. Just to make sure everything engaged/disengaged properly. Everything worked fine, so i went on to the master install. But now i cant get any pressure. And from what i see there are no leaks coming from anywhere else. I looked all beneath the new master, nothing. I have tons of fluid coming out of the slave. Just no pressure when its tightened. Some one please fill me in on what im doing wrong.

Buy a Mity Vac bleeder. Best $70 I have ever spent on my car bar none. Don't even have to jack it up for bleeding.

In the morning i am gonna drill the hole in the floor and try that way cause i will be by myself. If that doesnt work, I guess i will have to break down and buy the might vac. I am kind of strapped for $$ after buying a mcleod street twiin.

You can buy a plastic mity vac instead of metal for about $30 DO IT. Don't drill a hole in the floor. I used to bleed by myself. Cut a small board and wedge it against your seat rail to hold the pedal in while you go under and bleed. Used to work for me.... just way less efficient than the Mity Vac.
