Cliff,

It sounds like you have a typical race master cyl. setup. Dual cylinders with a balance bar.

First try disconnecting the pushrod from the front cylinder and try to arrange the pushrod to get a full stroke on the rear M/C..

Also, you should bench-bleed it if the fluid all drained out. This means disconnecting the outlet from the M/C, running a hose from the outlet into the reservoir, and pumping the piston several times to pre-fill the cylinder.

Another method is to use a vacuum-bleeder. I've had good success with them.

As far as the cylinder itself, it could be a Girling, Wilwood, or Tilton. The bolt spacing is standard for these units, but be sure you get the same piston diameter you had before, or you could upset the brake balance.

They both carry Wilwood and others.

Good luck,
