Wow, I wish I would have seen this before I did the rear SSBC disc kit on my 65 mustang. I went through all the problems you did (except I did have the Calipers with the bleeders at the highest point). However, I learned more about brakes during the process. My biggest issue is that I needed to size the MC bore to accommodate the high volume caliper Pistons. Stock is a 7/8″ bore. They were not providing enough fluid to get a strong pedal. When I converted to 1 1/8 bore that cut my pressure by half but doubled the volume to fill the calipers. Installing a booster greatly helped in pedal feel. I am still having parking brake issues especially with the calipers with integrated Parking brakes. I just installed a Lokar e brake kit with extra springs so the parking brake always retracts properly. Great video

I can see how deadlines can cause stress. On a project build, Ii try not to stress because the point is therapy. So, for the tasks I do not like, I throw on some music and take my time. That fuel system work would have probably taken me two days but it would be done the way I want it. Just my 2 cents

UPDATE- I ordered an AOD with 284 wide gear set from Monster Transmission with a 2200 Stall Converter, Blueprint 347, and JBA long tubes which will specifically fit this application.

Thanks
