I posted a question a few weeks ago about my hot rod (1938 Chevy) brake rebuild and here is where I am at now.I've been dealing with this brake rebuild for way to long and have just been spinning my wheels(No pun intended). Everything is new except for the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. Other then that all new lines (No leaks) and a new Wilwood 1inch MC
I've tryed vacuum pumps,reverse bleeders,old school way,you name it and I get the same resaults. Nothing front or back.
Yes I've bench bled the MC.. Even took it off and done it a couple more times just to make sure..
Today I put one of those handy dandy white containers with the clear hose as my dad worked the peddle and I worked the bleeder screws. There were some bubble at first on the drums in the back and also up front at the calipers. Went around each wheel 3 times with NO AIR BUBBLES,but have no brakes at all.. I made sure the rear drums are adjusted good before I stated as well.
Today I held the caliper in my hand and watched to see if the piston even comes out. It does BUT it will retract as soon as the peddle is lifted. I do not have a residal valve for the front but I do for the back drums. The master cylinder sits high on the firewall so thats why I dont have a valve up front.. I also noticed today while bleeding the MC (again) that when I go nice and slow and steady it looks fine no bubble but if I go a little faster I do get a lot of small bubble soming out. Almost looks like a foam?? Not sure what thats all about. I've called Wilwood before and there is only maybe one or two guys that make any sence. Today (Saturday) they are closed so I figured I'd see what anyone else out there thinks..

In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
