Thanks Eric. The rear cylinders installed were new (by Delphi as supplied in the kit from from Chip Lamb) not rebuilt. Fluid was as you suggested Castrol LMA. We started with the left rear and worked counter clockwise. After that didn't do much after 5 circuits we did it diagonally opposed (RR/LF/LR/RF) a few times. That seemed to make things a little better but still far from what I would have suspected, especially sive we found the old shoes reversed in the drums and return springs not poroperly installed. Each wheel was pumped/bled at least five times per circuit. I think we went through a good 16 ounces of fluid! Going to make a few more attempts some evening this week.
