Hi,

Car is a 1980 242. Replaced all four calipers with new/rebuilts, also new master cylinder. Bled the system with the Motive Products Power Bleeder and all looked fine. Fluid ran free from bubbles at all caliper bleed nipples. Pedal, however, goes all the way to the floor. No apparent leaks at lines or calipers or master cyliner or distribution block. What should I look for ? Bleed again ? How much fluid should go through teh system for a full bleed ?

PS: I used the bleed sequence in the Bentley manual. Thanks.

Mike
