Not sure what the etiquette is for asking non Healey Questions........

Have recently replaced the entire hydraulic system on my Jag xk 150, The car
has a servo, which I have plumbed in, but did not attach the vaccum line to.

Also replaced the master cyl with an "equivalent" unit that showed up with a
pushrod that was way too short, so I reused the old rod and attempted to set
up at the same length.

Brakes will not release and remain firmly clamped on discs after bleeding.
The car won't even move.  Is the problem not having the servo hooked up or
related to the adjustment of the master cylinder rod?
