Tim,

I have had this happen to me a couple of times. It sounds like
you have air in the master. Have someone get in the car,
just crack the line coming out of the master a little bit, just
enough to let some air our, have the person in the car push
very slowly in on the petal. Before they let up, tighten the
fitting, and do it again. You should only have to do it a couple
of times. Sounds crazy, but it works. After that you should have
a petal. If you don't, it is not in the master.

Earl

Thanks Ken,
   I did bench bleed the m/c.  What do you make of the fact that it
doesn't appear to be pumping fluid with each depression of the brake
pedal?  It should spout fluid like a fountain if it's working correctly
shouldn't it? Tim

  Did you adjust the shoes properly??

  If so, then assuming no leaks, and you rebuilt the MC correctly, they
  have NOT been bled.  If they were bled correctly you would be getting
a
  firm pedal.  

  Also, you know most of the time you are supposed to bench bleed the MC
  before it's mounted.  

  Regards,
  Ken

  Hey all,
     I've replace all (and I mean all) brake lines, wheel cylinders, and
  rebuilt the master cylinder on my 62 300, but I still get no pedal.
  I've bled them to death, no air, no leaks.  The one thing I notice is
  that when I pump the pedal, only periodically do I get brake fluid
  shooting up from inside the master cylinder.  Am I mistaken but
  shouldn't that be a consistent happening?  It was my first attempt at
  rebuilding a master cylinder but it seemed fairly straight forward.
  Thanks for the help.
  Tim
