...you can prevent fluid loss from the Master Cylinder, when reconnecting the car's brake lines by following these steps:
1) Mount the MC to the booster with Bleeder Hoses/Lines still in place.
2) Improvise a prop to hold the brake pedal depressed about an inch and a half (1.5"). This will prevent fluid loss when removing bleeder lines.
3) Reconnect the main brake lines, but leave slightly loose to do a final pedal bleed, as Cliff Pope suggests below, while tightening the connections.
A complete system bleeding is probably in order, since the results of the previous one are somewhat questionable.
