Default Installing the Master Cyl into firewall

Yes I've searched.

This is on a LT1, but I dont think it really matters that much.

I've searched here, cz28.com and looked at installuniversity.

I've got the slave hooked up, the booster is off the car, header is even loose. I've read several threads that curse the master cyl and how they cant get it in the firewall and this and that. However, people seem hellbent on not saying what angle they got it from. I see things said like "you have to find out what works for you" ...or "ou just have to find the right place to shoot from or the right angle'

Some people say hat they do it with the booster still on the car and not loosened, but I've got the damn thing off and out of the car, and I can't even seem to get it....
Nobody says this or that specifically and i'm about to set my car on fire here. I've only worked at getting it back in for maybe 5 mins at a time a few times, but i'm just frustrated from this and that adding up, and this is just setting me over the edge, so I'm quitting for the night.

RANT MODE OFF

CLIFFS: If anyone knows specifically what angle etc to get the master to slide in, or any tips and tricks...I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
