You have done exactly what I have done out here. I also looked at Wilwoods site but the actual setup of the balance bar is not clear to this old man. With the pushrods screwed into the clevis as shown in my pictures, I have at least 50% of pedal travel before the master cylinders begin to feel pressure. Wilwood and FFR (surprise) documentation fails to mention how far to screw the pushrods into the clevis for each side so I am just guessing. IMHO, I now think I need to back these pushrods out all the way to allow engagement much sooner. I was hopeful that someone on the site could look at the pictures and see if mine are screwed in to far and offer a little advice as to what to try next. If there is air in the lines, I am at a loss as to how to get rid of it short of having it pressure bled by someone smarter than me. I have done the bleeding using the old one at a time farthest away from MC routine and I have tried doing RR and RF at same time followed by LF and LR and get the same results. Never a single air bubble and the reservoir is kept full throughout the procedure so we have not introduced more air up top.
Can anyone tell me how far out their pushrods are for both front and rear MCs? Also, I assume I should be using .75 MC for front brakes and .625 for rear. Is that correct? Is this picture from Wilwood correct as far as setting up the balance bar?

is there an accepted procedure for bleeding this dual MC setup?
If I can send/post anymore clarification I will be happy to do so. Just let me know what is missing so I can get this working and perhaps help some others who struggle with this nonsense.
thanks again
