I just got done installing a new brake system on the old Apache - new
master cylinder, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, the whole nine yards...My
problem is I've pumped about half a gallon of brake fluid through just
one wheel cylinder with the Mityvac over a couple hours and I am still
getting air through the lines.  I double checked my shop manuals and I
can't think of what else to do except hook up the system to a pressure
bleeder, which I don't have access to; I still don't have any peddle
pressure.  Please help, I really want to get Big Red back on the road
again sometime soon.  Thanks for your help.

P.S. Yes, I did bench bleed the master cylinder beforehand.
