Default Bleeding slave cylinder

I am swapping LS-3 and TR6060 into my 48 Studebaker ,the motor and trans are out of a 2010 Camaro SS. It seems like i have all the air out of the clutch system ,but takes a couple of pumps to get a pedal ,but then it is hard like a brake pedal, and doesn't move,and clutch still doesn't disengage.I used a Wilwood single



r master cylinderr,and the master is mounted under the floor ,below the slave. Any thoughts?

looks like the push rods are at an angle and not straight , and they are short , both issues can cause , mechanical problems for your masters. Also it looks like your slaves are above your masters , that will give you another issue . Ive never seen that done on a hydraulic clutch , brake yes [with a residual valve ]

I agree with ijimmy on all accounts.
Another future issue with the excessive angle is side loading on the master cylinder bore which could wear it out faster than a straighter run.
