I've been reading up on vacuum swaps since I'm doing one right now. I couldn't find what I needed with a search, so I figured i'd fire my question at you in the hopes of getting some good advice.
as I said I'm doing a vacuum swap. I bought the conversion kit from gbodyparts. it came with the master already bolted to the booster. i didn't separate the two pieces to "bench" bleed as it looked like the thing would be level when I got it bolted in. well, it's not. I went ahead and "bench" bled it in the car. Does the MC need to be perfectly level in order to be bled 100% correct? If so, I figure I have two options. first would be to remove the master, mount in a vise & do a REAL bench bleed. OR jack the back end of the car up so I don't have to pull the MC.
Do i need to do either of these?
Also, when doing the "in-car bench bleed", my wife was pushing the pedal. As she pushed to the floor, fluid kept squirting upwards out of the rear chamber of the reservoir. if she went too fast, it would squirt up like a fountain. is this normal??
Thanks for any help or advice you might be able to offer.
