Well I don't know what I did..maybe it was over full? Doesn't squirt out anymore and seem to have good pressure coming out the rear bleeders. Have to get a brake hose for the front then I can plum in the lines correctly.

Sometimes the simple answers can get overlooked by all. With the location of the master cylinder, in relation to the toe board, it isn't hard to overfill the master cylinder. I've done it most every time I fill the reservoir. Without having a vented cap, none leaked out....At least I couldn't tell for what was slopped on the floor from overfilling.
Thanks, don't know why I didn't think of it being over full to begin with but oh well... at least the master is good and working, thought it looked fairly new.
If that was the worst thing that happened, then you are doing well.
Well hopefully I can get back at it Sunday, getting more and more excited with each step I complete. Going to try and get the front lines plumbed in and all bleed, rig up a fuel tank and see if I can get it to run and move under it's own power. Then time to tackle the frame and suspension.
I keep trying to make some time to work on the floor of my wagon, but there is not enough time in the day. With all the town torn up from last week's storms, just about every day has been spent behind a saw, cutting up trees.
I hear you, never enough time....I will be busy working on something else today, have exhaust and front diff work to do on my father in laws grand Cherokee. Hopefully I can get the DJ back in the shop for tomorrow.
Got the ol Jeep in and was able to pull the front wheels off, looks like I'm going to have to get wheel cylinders, there froze up solid. Shoes and hardware look good, just the cylinders got full of rust and debris sitting all that time with rotted off lines. The front lines were in a brass block with 4 ports one to each wheel, one to the master, what is the other port for??
It sounds like that somewhere along the line, someone put in a distribution block from something else in there. Willys through early AMC used two ports coming off the master cylinder. One went forward, and the other went rear. The only T in the system was at the rear differential pumpkin, and the axle tube on the front, where the rubber flex hose from the frame lines attach. If you were adding disk brakes, then there would be a proportioning block added to make up for the different needs of the disk brakes compared to the drum brakes.
The only other thing that comes to mind would be if there was a pressure regulated trailer brake unit installed. The older units took its sense from the brake system. There was a line run off a T or block that fed into a steel brake line, then run up into the cab, to the brake controller.
Thanks for the reply pal, I couldn't see a reason for a 4way distribution but who knows with this thing....always finding something.
