Andy have you bled all the fittings at the combination valve?
This system loves to trap air.
The front is not too bad but because the rear portion of the master moves so little fluid its can be tough to get it out.
I had a master last week on a 76 that to get all the air out of the rear cylinder I had to stick a toothpick into the
rear hole in the bottom of the rear cylinder and allow the bubbles to follow the toothpick up and out.
There were at least 30 of these bubbles that finally came out.It took me about 15 min. working the piston back and
forth(not full strokes)and putting the pick in and out to get all the air out of the rear.
