You video is much appreciated, and there is a lot of good included. However, IMO (verified by many, many experienced C3 owners) you cannot properly bleed a master cylinder on a C3 Corvette on the car and get ALL of the air out. The angle of the master will leave some amount of air trapped that can often come back to haunt later. To get all of the air out, it really needs to be bench bled at various angles (because it's dangerous or impossible to get the back end of the car high enough to level out - and get a positive angle on - the master) - the syringe method can be used if an owner doesn't want to push the piston on the back of the cylinder. If an owner decided to use a screwdriver to bench bleed, they need to be careful not to go too far - around 1" or so max with each push. Thanks again, Paul
