The one Marlin Crawler lists LINK does not seem to have the sensor.
2- I put some 4Runner calipers on and am having a lot of trouble bleeding the brakes. Don't know what is going on. I've gone through a couple of big bottles, now, and the pedal still goes to the floor. First pedal press is stiff, but goes to the floor, then much softer after that.
When I bleed the brakes (starting at the RR), there isn't much of a stream being pushed out the bleeder, just a weak spurt, and some air. Everything seems to be working. No Leaks. I even bled the Stock MC again and still no change. Stock is good, but I'm thinking a larger-bore MC might help?
Any suggestions?

You said that you pushed 2 bottles of fluid through. did all of that trickle out of the bleeders, or is there a chance you are losing it elsewhere?
Do you get a stronger stream when you unhook the line that goes into the caliper?
It seems you have a leak somewhere, combined with a blockage. chances are it is in the newly installed parts.
do you also get only weak dribbling from the rear cylinders (which I assume are original)?
Your master could definitely be bad. did you check behind the master, whether there is fluid going into the booster?
cheers,
