have you pulled the bleeder screws out of the wheel cylinders completely to make sure that the orifice in the bleeder screw is not rusted / crud shut?
 

Because I was installing the differential but not finished I was able to trouble shoot it real easley. The fluid had run out of the lines that go across the differential so I had left them disconnected from the cylinders and replaced fluid in the resivoir with fresh fluid. That should have been my clue when the resivoir was still full. I disconnected the rear hose at the top of it and the fluid came out right away. That kind of narrowed it down. I just got back from the local Mustang store only to come home empty handed. The hose is exclusive to 70 only. The old one still has the Ford p/n on it. And yup still have the old drum brakes with wider and shoes and drums.

I was hoping to drive it today so I first went to Oreillys and picked up a hose there. The one they sold me is the same part that goes on the 69. I didn't know that then. That's when I did my research and found out the 70 is exclusive. The Oreilly hose attach bracket and the fitting holes in the block and the end of the hose are all three the wrong size. All the pipe ends fittings would have to be changed and the bracket reformed the fit close to the original position under the breather fitting in the differential. The 71-73 Mustang hose assembly looks exactly like the 70 hose but the fitting holes are all the same size on that one meaning that the fittings on the axel lines would both have to be replaced but not the hose end. I have enough things to do on the Mustang, shocks, oil leak, etc. It's just that I took Karen's parking spot in the garage.

Had a Jeep Wrangler in the shop the other day doing rear brakes, wheel cylinders/shoes/drums/hardware, and the RH side would not bleed. We found that the wheel cylinder feed hole was not drilled through. Just an FYI because it is new does not mean it is correct.

Drove the Mustang. Got the correct brake hose and it fits. No body locally had it. The rear end runs quiet and there is no vibration. Still have a few more issues to work out before the Bash, unless BB talks me out of it. (Just teasing, It would not have made it)

I hated to be a wet blanket, Doug, but I really would have hated to see you guys having serious trouble on a long cross-country run.  We've been really lucky with our's and only had that small idling trouble and AC problem in 2015.  But even that was very frustrating for me.  If you aren't confident in it...leave it home.  Better to get there and have a good time than to end up along the side of the road with major problems.
See ya soon.

BB is right (in one respect) butt..........if you are traveling with a gang of MS forum 'Stangerz....well anything short of "major surgery" is a common occurance with them!  Glen/Steve(Steves Mustang Parts owners) always have an "interesting"  trip. And have made more bash-es than anyone else. (except MS that is!)
I was behind them once on the expressway around St. Louis while they did emergency "electrical work" on the darn shoulder of the road!!!!!! Cars zipping by at 70+mph        (why does it do this!?) 
With 50+ year old cars..........you just never know butt, if you do the regular maintenance stuff before the trip...and do some trial runs out-of-town (if possible)  the rest of the stuff just goes under the "aw shucks" category.
Get Glenn to tell you the one where he changed his oil for the MS bash and got distracted and fired that SUPERCHARGED monster up and run it a while.....with no oil!! Then got in it and drove to the bash!!!(after he filled it with oil, naturally)
I had mine "consuming roller lifters" from SC to Texas and back. (I discovered later...after I got back home)
If it was EZ...........who'd do it?!!!
