SHE RUNS!!! Thank you to everyone, I too my first drive and took my wife out for a run. The first time since I got my car out of the garage and got to drive. I was excited that the the transmission seems to work. The NEW Master Cylinder was a hit! Put it in and already could tell,had pressure.
Here is a vid of me driving into the garage!!!
I did find a little leak on my brake line at a fitting, and some coolant came out, but I think that was overflow.
Can't wait to now do some more and get her cleaned up and rolling down the road!!
THANK YOU ALL for the help so far to get me to this point.

After the first two sentences, I about spit my pop out on my monitor! "took my wife out for a run" conjured up an image of you driving down the road with her tied to the bumper running along behind!! Sorry, just my sick imagination.  Congrats on the successful test drive, btw.

If the link doesn't work for you, try right clicking on the link and select "copy shortcut". Then open a new browser window (or tab) and paste the link you copied in the address bar. Press Enter and you should be able to view the vid. You might want to lay on your right side to watch it though!
