> Question: I had a problem with my brake Master Cylinder. It went
dead. I was wondering if I'm supposed to fill both chambers of the
reservoir
or just the front one. If I got brake fluid in the rear one would it go
dead?
If the MC was working would there be something else that would make it act
like this? After I took it out to see if I could get it fixed or replaced
it
seemed to work again when I squeezed it to drain it. Does that make sense
or
should it still be able to make pressure enough to mislead me into thinking
it's ok?

Yes, you do fill both reservoirs. I'll bet the thing could be overhauled.
It is probably gummed up from sitting so long. Get a rebuild kit and give
it a go. When you take it apart check the bore for rust pitting. If it
pitted too badly it will never work right (unless you get it resleaved and
that's about $200 US).
Good luck
