Yesterday I found that the "cross line" runs uphill from the MC to the bend
down to the SC hose. It took about 3" of lift on the drivers (LHD) side to
go the fluid to run down. The "hanging" SC would bleed clear of bubbles
using a My-T-Vac, BUT no joy when the SC was bolted into position. Will
re-bleed tonight if I can get my son-in-law to "help".
Also. Would the 3 1/4" pushrod from a 1500 SC fit a 1275 SC (3"
standard)? Is it the same diameter?
