[Roadsters] Clutch Question

[Jim Gammon]

HHHEEEYYYYYY! Yes!
   
  It was a sticky slave cylinder. I fortunately had a spare (packrat that I am)
   
  I just took her around the block!
   
  The clutch needs adjusting, the brakes are soft, and the idle too high. 
   
  I am higher!!
   
  Little stuff now, like finding the shifter knob, a major cleaning and putting in shorter carb springs (I guessed wrong, it seems. 
   
  Nothing like grinding the crank, reassembling the entire engine, trany etc. A bigger job than I thought at first. I never re-did an entire engine by myself before.
   
  I did all the work myself, except what took a machine shop. The only thing I didn't put in was the jackshaft bearings, the machine shop wanted to line bore them to be sure. 
   
  I thank many of you, members, vendors and advice givers (Craig for the bare engine). My baby is on the way to riding this spring! No show car, but 85% of the way there.

  I just got my 2000 1969 back together after a complete engine and trans rebuild. 2 years, a bit of procrastinating and weather. 

Today is is warm here in NJ, so I decided to do some final stuff. I started her up, balanced the carbs, setthe timing and then went to bleed the clutch. 

The pedal would not move, and won't unless I push VERY hard. It moved fine 3 weeks ago, and since it was low, I added fluid. DOT4.

Did I use the wrong fluid?

Do I need to rebuild the cylinder? I didn'ttouch the master of slave in this rebuild.

Thanks in advance.
