So, interesting development. When we were “bench” bleeding a master cylinder (on the car) we discovered that the front circuit doesn’t push fluid for the full pedal stroke. You get about halfway down on the pedal and the front will stop flowing. Similarly, on the way up, it won’t begin to suck fluid back up the tube until you get about halfway, then it works for the remainder of the way up. The back circuit works fine it seems, pushes and pulls fluid full pedal stroke.

oh yeah i forgot you cant bleed gm master cylinders with full strokes either... its always the first half inch and last half inch, your sounds much weirder and exactly like that gt that was giving me trouble which i dont remember how or if we ever fixed that
