will let you know tomorrow, probably just another place to suck air..
, but I pulled those M/C bleeders out and coated the threads with never sieze before the install. bench bled from the bottom ports. I am putting 6 speed bleeders in all 4 calipers in the am and bleed my system ( wife wont help me anymore...but she's old...) , I have basically the same thing going on as the OP w/ a dry master on a car that sat many yrs.

Bore sizes are the same between all masters of the same "power" type. IE, manual brakes get 1" bores and power brakes get 1 1/8" bores.
Early vs late (don't remember the cutoff) are shaped differently. I believe the "cone" behind the flange is deeper on the late ones. Could be the opposite. Memory on this subject is foggy, but there's definitely info on it via the search function.

Just for the record, I got another stock M/C. After doing a "real" bench bleed and installing the plugs till I install it, no fluid to speak of came out of the rear chamber for whatever reason just like my old one did.
It did take some time to get all the air out. The in-vehicle bleeding while using a 2 x 4 to limit pedal travel was probably a mistake as it needs lots of full strokes.
