OK, I've bled all the way around about half a dozen times. I still have a
pedal that goes all the way to the floor (it can be "pumped up" to get pressure;
2-3 pumps). I stopped with the one man bleeder and got a helper to push the
brake pedal so I could see what was going on; no bubbles except the rt front
wheel, bubbles would come out every time the pedal was pressed. Big bubbles. I
must have run two bottles of fluid through there, so any air in the line should
have been pumped out; the bubbles never decreased in volume. There aren't any
leaks in the lines that I can find. The fact that I can "pump it up" and it
holds pressure verifies that.
So, do I have a bad wheel cylinder or master cylinder? Previous owner put a
dual-cylinder master on this '61 'Brier.
