There's your man.
I would take the slave line off and with someone in the car and slave full of fluid,hold the "ball" open on the end of the line and have the helper push the pedal down and hold it,then release the ball.Continue untill air dosent come out anymore.Attach the line and continue the same practive with the bleeder on the slave.I bled my master/line in a vice after a drill mod and installed it with no bleeding,the "pumping" of a pedal makes the air bubble break up and makes for a harder bleed procedure..Good luck

Hah great day at the track, went 12.30@116 with a crap 1.8 60' in the Mustang.
Whos got the SOM WS.6? You really need to look over more, I cruised next to you almost the entire length of 23rd ave in my Mustang and you wouldnt even look at me. In fact you kept slowing down to get away from me. For reference its the POS primer white with rust accents 89 Mustang GT and a touch of Vortech V1 banshee wail.

Yeah not bad, but you got to get those 12s with the lid and cat-back. I recently did LCAs and sub-frames on the Camaro but not much else. I did dyno it though, on motor it did 330 rwhp and 345 rwtq and then on a 500 psi bottle and a 75 shot it did 385 rwhp and 430 rwtq. I was hoping for 400 rwhp with a nice 1200 psi bottle, I guess I'll find out.

Ever wonder who did those donuts in front of the Menlo building down at the Airport?
At one time when I was still working for Menlo there was the Pewter 01 Z28 that works at Danzas then my Pewter 02 Z28 and then yours showed up at the next building over. I was starting to think it was an LS1 convention at the Air Frieght terminal.

lol that was me. i looked over a couple times, i listened mostly :) ill have the 12 bolt transfered over next couple days so ill be more likely to play next weekend. i was going 30mph due to the ***** that patrol up there. last year i was popped for sqealing the tires when i chirped the tires going into 2nd. definitly dont want to run into him again , he came unglued and took it personaly :eyes: cost me 350 to my lawyer to get out of it.
the spot right there between moline and east moline is getting ruined with a new intersection too. best place seems to be down on john deere rd between best buy and rock island, 3 lanes each way. ive got a few vids from last year racing a 03 cobra/viper on the ave and a older one in my heads/cam 93z vs a buick t-type on john deere rd.

I've got a black T/A, and work out at JD Corporate so I'm on JD Road quite a bit. Pretty sure I didn't rev at anybody, but the car is damn loud now, so it may have been mistaken as a rev...
Anybody know anywhere that sells exhaust band clamps? I have a slight leak where my ORY connects to my mangaflow I-pipe...
