If your master cylinder is bad, you should be able to see brake fluid under the 
bus. I would also check all of the wheel cylinders as well. And all of the 
lines, of course.

Okay, so I'm on the home stretch on my '67 Westy and was bleeding the brakes.  
No matter how much brake fluid I ran through the system, I could not build up 
any pressure at all.  Fluid was moving, just wouldn't get any pressure on the 
brakes.  I think he shoes are adjusted fine, a little drag and e-brake works 
fine.

Does this sound like the master cylinder is dead?  The brakes sorta worked 15 
months ago when I pushed it in the garage but nothing now.

Any advice is welcome.
