Default Another brake bleeding question 66

Hello, I installed a 67 dual reservoir with booster in my 66 manual single reservoir. I bench bled the MC with the bleeder kit and got all the air out prior to hooking lines up to distribution block and front/rear lines. I did not open a bleeder screw yet. I did push on the pedal. I could see the MC when I did this and a large amount of air bubbled out of the forward reservoir. Did I reintroduce air into the MC or do I have a bad O ring in MC or other problem. Thank you,
Al

Just proceed with bleeding the system and let us know how it goes.

Well I think I got it. Power bled them with a vacuum Mightyvac. I now have a firm pedal. Since I have it up on jacks I'll bleed it again in the morning. Also, no more bubbles in front reservoir. Also no leaks.

Thank you John!
