Make sure your rear calipers are installed with the bleeder at the highest point. When I installed mine I was more concerned with finding a good spot to mount them than the best position of the bleeder. So what I have to do is remove the caliper mounting bolts and slide the caliper up the rotor (or down depending) and hold it on the rotor by hand while bleeding the brakes. Then just remount the caliper. That's what I have to do...hope that helps.

Mike I take it you can't run Wilwood masters?  If you can't like 2cars2much said put the 2psi residuals valves in.  Are you sure your masters are good?  If you need any help call. This is common with stock masters!

usually if your master cylinder insint below the height of the master cyl. you won't need the valves. sounds to me like the master may need bench bleeding.
