The '65 Valiant Raybestos master cylinder has conflicting literature included. One item is a description of Method "A" and Method "B" options that may be chosen to bench bleed. The second item, is a printed red warning that states: "Do not bench bleed this master cylinder--you will damage the cylinder" I guess they are worried about pressing the plunger too far during the stroking process (must be some idiots out there messing these things up).
The recommended new procedure is: basically says to open all the wheel cylinders and pump away, then close the cylinders and release the pedal. Repeat.
