Bench bleeding master cylinder ~ what's changed?

It used to be when you bought a new or reman master cylinder you'd get plastic fittings with return tubes. Now, I see you get plugs?
The plugs seemed to work on the last one I did, but....

I wondered the same thing on the last one I purchased. I just used an old set-up w/the return lines that I kept.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

It's been a few years since the fittings and hoses have come with the reman master. Now they sell them, revenue enhancement. Last time I bleed a master I used the syringe method, was a lot easier.
