Default 1940 Ford Brass Fitting on Master Cyl.

I've been having a hard time bleeding the new wheel cylinders..... so today I pulled the Master out to check on a couple things. I never noticed this before and I don't know why, but the Brass Fitting at the tail end of the master where the brake like switch fits and it splits off for the front and rear brakes.....I don't know if I had the holes all lined up so there is good flow to the front and rear brakes ! What's the process to hold those holes in-line ? That may be the source of my probs.

Thx.....Mike

If it is installed and doesn't leak, it is NOT your problem. The fluid doesn't know if the fitting is not "straight" and certainly doesn't care.

Theres a relief cut in the bolt that goes thru the brass fittings so it doesnt matter
