Just installed new front disks, and a brand new dual master cylinder, break pedal has no tension whatsoever. It will not build up pressure no matter how many times you pump it. I bench bled the master cylinder, but to no avail. Calipers won't bleed, only a drop or two come out. How do I fix this?

It's interesting the company is Air Research. They also produce auxillary power units (APU's) for the old KC-135 Stratankers. There wer two companies producing these APU's, one being Air Research and the other company was Solar.

Just an interesting tidbit of information
