It's pretty certain that master cylinder ('71, Std.) needs to be replaced, but today, just to get prepped to do that job...with a nicely wrapped, unrusted, good-when-salvaged-from-parts-car, master cylinder... I went around to check brake pads. Replaced just one.
Thought to bleed brakes just to see what would happen. Two front valves gave nice, bubble-free squirts. Left rear just dribbled...after an audible whiff of air. Right rear did the little whiff of air too...but not a drop of fluid came out...despite multiple attempts. I even let it sit a bit to see if it would just leak. Nothing.
What does that mean? ...That the rear brake cylinder is frozen or shot too?
