*SSBC Master Cylinder Question*
I purchased this master cylinder (see below) and was wondering if I have to use the extension for the pushrod that comes with it. http://www.ssbrakes.com/commerce/detail/index.cfm?nPID=8846 
I'm not sure if that's what it's called so forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to the correct terminology.

If you are referring to the aluminum plug, I didn't need to use it in mine, but I have # A0469-1. I don't think that makes a difference, but you never know. I'm curious why you went with that model, and not A0469?

Your stock pushrod that is in your Vette right now should work no problems. Man I was feeling guilty getting the WillWood MC at half the price

Bench bleeding makes life easier, some master cylinders come with a bench bleeding kit that has plastic fittings and tubes to route the spent fluid back into the reservoir. If you don't have that it's still possible, just makes a bit of a mess... Once you've bench bled, install the master, connect the two brake lines, and tighten. Bleed all four wheels in this order: right rear, left rear, right front, left front topping off the fluid after every few cycles at each wheel. DO NOT let the master run dry or the bench bleeding is undone.. After all is done and you are getting no more air, get in the car and STAND on the pedal. Hold it until your leg cramps up, the pedal should stay high and firm. If the pedal drops while holding it, find your leak. If it doesn't drop, check for leaks anyways for the sake of safety. Hope this helps. -Jeff
