There was a post awhile back about defective wheel cylinders being manufactured and sold. Something about the bleeder screw hole not being drilled in the correct location. Could that be the problem? Is your master cylinder in good operable condition.

I have used DOT5 in my stock 1940 Ford brake system for the past 30 years with no problems. Lines are stock 1/4 in. Wish I lived closer so I could help you. Your problem is fixable using DOT 5.

Hope someone here can help you. Maybe there's another Ford barner near you.
