Finally figured out I had the bleeders at the bottom, and had to swap calipers to the other side. Annoying af, but I'll never fuck it up again.
Yeah I did that with the stock calipers on this thing at first. Had 2 passenger side calipers and didn't notice one side had the bleeder on the bottom. Apparently it's a pretty common mistake. The good thing about these wilwood calipers is that there's a set of bleeders on both ends of the caliper, so 4 total. Push comes to shove I should be able to swap them but I don't think that is going to be the case. Didn't see a single bubble out of this caliper on the outside bleeder and bleeding both is really just for good measure. It does sit directly below the master cylinder so I may get lucky.
The pedal does get firm but it's a little soft at first. I'm thinking it's due to this being on the smaller size for a power brake master cylinder. Most people run a 1 1/8" bore with a hydroboost. This thing is only a 1" bore which is why it was able to serve double duty as a crappy manual setup. Those are typically 15/16"-7/8". It's going to have a longer travel and softer feel than it probably should but that may help out with modulation. Guess we'll find out once I have time to drop the car. The GF smashed her pinky toe on one of our stools and is now on crutches and dependent on me to get her anywhere she needs to go, at least it's not broken.

Yeah I'm feeling better now. Just need a break from the car for a while but also really don't want to miss the show. Just too many rough days in a row for my patience at this point. Nothing that happened yesterday was really all that bad, just messy and inconvenient.
