Welp, brakes are better. I wouldn’t take it auto-crossing but they are adequate for a daily driver that won’t be towing or hauling anything.
To recap: I replaced the leaking RR wheel cylinder, brake hoses have been replaced with braided stainless and the master cylinder was replaced.
Some observations; the initial press of the pedal is very firm, but there’s no reaction in the brakes /(I hate to assume but it makes sense to me, that this is the quick take up-quickly taking up)/ then there’s the slightest release of pressure before the brakes start to apply and the pedal firms brake up.
I ran about 3 quarts of fluid through the system, eliminating all the nasty greenish black stuff. Ran the automated bleed procedure twice after the initial bleeding and saw no signs of air during the final bleed.
Here’s some pictures of my homemade adapter.

See that notch in the cap? It’s a breather. It leaks a bunch of fluid when the reservoir is pressurized. I cut a small o-ring and shoved it in the groove-under the cap gasket. This setup worked ok. Mostly helpful by keeping the reservoir full.
And my assistant got tired and took a nap on the dash. SMH, can’t find good help.
