                I must have succeeded in breaking it completely cuz I came back and the front half of the master was completely bone dry. I filled it up, pumped up the pedal, and sure enough I was greeted with brake fluid pissing out from the brake line going to the rear

                            Just for future reference, most Caprices of that generation with ABS have a badge reading “ABS” above the left rear tail light I believe.
