Wish I could help you there but I can't. I'm still running my stock '89 master cylinder. Been through 2 plastic brake boosters, now have a metal one on it, and just yesterday installed a DRM brake bias spring. Amazing the master cylinder is still good with my shortcut taking when I work on things. Like when installing the bias spring I did it with the MC on the car. Took the big nut off and couldn't get the guts out with a mechanic's pick for nothing. So I jumped in the driver's seat and floored the brake pedal very quickly. Shot the guts right out like a bullet. Put it all back together and all is fine. And when installing the brake booster, I pried on that thing like it was made of steel. I'm really bad when it comes to shit like that. I need morer patience. Anyway, back on topic....

I wouldn't know which master cylinder to tell you to get should you need one, maybe a used stock one would be better than a reman?

When bleeding the brakes on these cars it takes forever because of the ABS system. There is alot of line distance and such. Also, because of the pump, I've always bled the brakes with the car running. Never had any luck with the car not running unless it is a non-abs car. I'd try it with the car idling, or maybe you already do.
