Jan, I have one more little mod to your front brakes: run the connecting line from the left front to the right front UNDER the front-trunk floor.

Always scares me when I find solid-red-rusted hard lines...

Thanks for the tip. I think I will leave the Group 4 alone since the brakes are working good now. I am not sure how the lines are routed underneath but everything was replaced new on that car in dry Arizona, so there shouldn't be any rust. Still not sure why I had problems pulling fluid through on the front brake bleed though with my vacuum pump. I would think that as long as I didn't let the resivour level go down too much to let air in, that I could just suck old and new fluid through. Maybe I accidentally let it run low, as I was paying too much attention to my Drambuie level than brake fluid level.
