will measure today...
LMTV steel wheel - 125#...

FIXED - the answer was a little of each input. The small orfice in the master cylinder was obstructed but not by junk. The jello mix of DOT5 and DOT3 made the rubber cup in the master cylinder swell enough to cover the relief orfice so each time the pedal was pressed it added (and maintained)...
